tw686x driver (again, sorry; I respect it as a good driver!)

Hi Hans, I recall us agreeing that a custom function to free the last resources attached to the video device would be preferable. So may I clarify, in your words, what bug I may be fixing? I please need a description to report to patchwork and to my mentor.. Also I’m getting confused reactio

Finally figured out how to include linux-media in prev msg, sorry

Hi Ezequiel, After going through trouble and half with trying to get the following correspondence through linux-media (...): Who' calling this ^ ? Oops. Should it be video_device_release (not tw686x_video_device_release) and then should keep the line vdev->release = video_device_release?
