Subject: [media] duplicate code in media drivers

Hi Mauro,

I found some duplicate code with the help of Coccinelle and Coverity. Notice that these are not code patches, they only point out the duplicate code in some media drivers:

I wonder if some of the cases above were intentionally coded that way or some code needs to be removed.

Thanks
