sd->devnode is released after calling v4l2_subdev_release. Therefore it should be set to NULL so that the subdev won't hold a pointer to a released object. This fixes a reference after free bug in function v4l2_device_unregister_subdev

since this is a regresion fix, I added Fixes and Cc to stable tags,
change the commit title and log to be more clear.

I'd move the sd->devnode = NULL; line here. That way the sd->internal_ops->release(sd) callback can still use it.
Unless I am missing something?
It makes sense although none of the drivers uses this callback since the subdevice should be released in the v4l2_device's release so it seems that this callback can (should?) be removed.
