The patch in the following e-mail fixes a reference count bug, it seems to me that uvc_unregister_video is a good location to release the final reference, I find it is called once. It may sound like a lot to plug and unplug the USB camera 250 some times, but in my case "disabled by hub (EMI?), re-enabling..." kept unplugging and plugging in the device until days later it ran out of minors and I lost the video security feed.
With this patch, now that the device is actually being removed other problems are showing up. Specifically the following if the camera is removed or `rmmod ehci_pci` while an application is getting video from it. It doesn't happen if the camera is not in use. How do I track that down?
