Laurent Pinchart 277966749f media: Reset file->private_data to NULL in v4l2_fh_del()
Multiple drivers that use v4l2_fh and call v4l2_fh_del() manually reset
the file->private_data pointer to NULL in their video device .release()
file operation handler. Move the code to the v4l2_fh_del() function to
avoid direct access to file->private_data in drivers. This requires
adding a file pointer argument to the function.

Changes to drivers have been generated with the following coccinelle
semantic patch:

expression fh;
identifier filp;
identifier release;
type ret;

ret release(..., struct file *filp, ...)
{
	<...

}

Manual changes have been applied to Documentation/ to update the usage
patterns, to drivers/media/v4l2-core/v4l2-fh.c to update the
v4l2_fh_del() prototype and reset file->private_data, and to
include/media/v4l2-fh.h to update the v4l2_fh_del() function prototype
and its documentation.

Additionally, white space issues have been fixed manually in
drivers/usb/gadget/function/uvc_v4l2.c

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
