Hi Mauro,

Thank you for the patch.

I've discussed this with Shuah previously and I'm surprised to see that the 
problem hasn't been fixed : using devres for this purpose is just plain wrong. 
The empty media_device_release_devres() function should have given you a hint.

What we need instead is a list of media devices indexed by struct device (for 
this use case) or by struct device_node (for DT use cases). It will both 
simplify the code and get rid of the devres abuse.

Shuah, if I recall correctly you worked on implementing such a solution after 
our last discussion on the topic. Could you please update us on the status ?

In the mean time, let's hold off on this patch, and merge a proper solution 
instead.
