[PATCH] v4l2-dev: Fix race condition on __video_register_device

From: Ricardo Ribalda Delgado
Date: Tue Aug 13 2013 - 11:04:20 EST


When 2 devices are registered at the same time, in Part 2 both will get
the same minor number, making Part6 crash, because it cannot create a
create a device with a duplicated minor:
