Subject: [PATCH 0/1] media: saa7146: don't use mutex_lock_interruptible in

This is the same kind of bug as the one fixed by
ddc43d6dc7df0849fe41b91460fa76145cf87b67 : mutex_lock() must be used in the
device_release file operation in order for all resources to be freed, since
returning -RESTARTSYS has no effect here.

I stole the commit log from Sylwester Nawrocki, who fixed a few of these issues,
since I could not formulate it better.
