Subject: Re: [PATCH v2] media: usb: hackrf: fix device unregister order in
 hackrf_probe()

Hi, please disregard my patch for following reasons:

1) The issue at hand isn't addressed properly - looking back I haven't
properly identified root cause and my fix is flawed.
2) Even if the approach is correct, I messed up the move of the label
err_v4l2_device_unregister. If video_register_device(&dev->rx_vdev,...)
fails we skip necessary deregistering steps.

I'll attempt to come up with a better solution, thank you for your
patience.

Regards,
Nikita
