v4l2-dev: add video_device_release_empty
From: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl> Add a second release function: video_device_release_empty It can be used by drivers that have statically allocated video_device structs. Its use usually, but not always, indicates laziness on the part of the driver programmer. Priority: normal Signed-off-by: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@xs4all.nl>
