V4L/DVB (8782): v4l2-dev: add video_device_release_empty
Add a second release function: video_device_release_empty It can be used by drivers that have statically allocated video_device structs. Its use usually, but not always, indicates laziness on the part of the driver programmer. Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@redhat.com>
