If the subdevice created a device node, then the v4l2_subdev cannot be freed until the last user of the device node closes it. This means that we need a release() callback in v4l2_subdev_internal_ops that is called from the video_device release function so the subdevice driver can postpone freeing memory until the that callback is called. If no video device node was created then the release callback can be called immediately when the subdev is unregistered.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
