Subject: [PATCH 3.12 062/107] media: media: v4l2-dev: fix video device index assignment

3.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Marek Szyprowski <m.szyprowski@...sung.com>

commit 6c3df5da67f1f53df78c7e20cd53a481dc28eade upstream.

The side effect of commit 1056e4388b045 ("v4l2-dev: Fix race condition on
__video_register_device") is the increased number of index value assigned
on video_device registration. Before that commit video_devices were
numbered from 0, after it, the indexes starts from 1, because get_index()
always count the device, which is being registered. Some device drivers
rely on video_device index number for internal purposes, i.e. s5p-mfc
driver stopped working after that patch. This patch restores the old method
of numbering the video_device indexes.
