It's hard to guess right now as media_entity_cleanup() is a nop,
but it would feel more safe to first cleanup subdev.entity and then
subdev itself

	media_entity_cleanup(&priv->subdev.entity);
 	v4l2_subdev_cleanup(&priv->subdev);

However, the probe() error path already does it in reverse, order,
so...
