I gave it a try, and looking at the function prototype, its
documentation, the imbalance with v4l2_fh_add(), and the code in the
callers, I think keeping both arguments would look cleaner. Please tell
me if you feel strongly about this, I can still submit a patch to drop
the argument. It can very easily be scripted with coccinelle and doesn't
conflict with the rest of the series, so it could also be done later.
