Subject: [PATCH 3.16 239/245] [media] drivers/media/media-devnode: clear
 private_data before put_device()

3.16.83-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

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

From: Max Kellermann <max@...mpel.org>

commit bf244f665d76d20312c80524689b32a752888838 upstream.

Callbacks invoked from put_device() may free the struct media_devnode
pointer, so any cleanup needs to be done before put_device().
