Here and in the other patches, why break the line ?

Mmmm, this is growing enough  to qualify for a label I guess...

Unrelated, but I wonder what

        mutex_lock(&cru->mdev_lock);
        cru->v4l2_dev.mdev = NULL;
	mutex_unlock(&cru->mdev_lock);

Protects against...

What do you think of reworking the error path to make it like

	ret = rzg2l_cru_mc_parse_of_graph(cru);
	if (ret)
                goto err_mc_parse;

        return 0;

error_mc_parse:
        media_device_cleanup(mdev);
        cru->v4l2_dev.mdev = NULL;
        media_entity_cleanup(&cru->vdev.entity);
        mutex_destroy(&cru->mdev_lock);
        return ret;

?

In this case, please reword the commit message accordingly, as the
patch won't just be about adding media_entity_cleanup() but rather
about reworking the rzg2l_cru_media_init() error path.

Thanks
