That makes sense. You're meaning something like the enclosed (untested)
patch?

Actually, __video_register_device() seems to be setting the parent
properly:

        if (vdev->dev_parent == NULL)
                vdev->dev_parent = vdev->v4l2_dev->dev;

Thanks,
Mauro

[PATCH] Be sure that the media_device won't be freed too early

This code snippet is untested.
