This series fixes three resource lifecycle issues in the imx8-isi driver,
all introduced by commit cf21f328fcaf ("media: nxp: Add i.MX8 ISI driver").
Patch 1 fixes a use-after-free on rmmod: mxc_isi_remove() called
crossbar cleanup before v4l2 cleanup, freeing the crossbar pads while
the media framework still needed them to remove links. Fix by swapping
the cleanup order.
Patch 2 fixes a memory leak on rmmod: both crossbar and pipe cleanup
paths were missing v4l2_subdev_cleanup() calls to free the subdev
active state allocated by v4l2_subdev_init_finalize().
Patch 3 fixes resource leaks in probe error paths: the pipes array
allocated with kzalloc_objs() was never freed on failure or remove,
and already-initialized pipes were not cleaned up when a later pipe
init or v4l2 init failed. Fix by switching to devm_kcalloc() and
adding pipe cleanup in the error path.

KASAN reports a slab-use-after-free in __media_entity_remove_link()
during rmmod of imx8_isi:
BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in __media_entity_remove_link+0x608/0x650

mxc_isi_crossbar_cleanup+0x34/0x80 [imx8_isi]
mxc_isi_remove+0x11c/0x2a0 [imx8_isi]
The problem is that mxc_isi_remove() calls mxc_isi_crossbar_cleanup()
before mxc_isi_v4l2_cleanup(). The crossbar cleanup frees the media
entity pads, but the subsequent v4l2 cleanup still tries to remove
media links that reference those pads.
Fix this by calling mxc_isi_v4l2_cleanup() before
mxc_isi_crossbar_cleanup() to ensure all media entities are properly
unregistered while the pads are still valid.

Both mxc_isi_crossbar_init() and mxc_isi_pipe_init() call
v4l2_subdev_init_finalize() which allocates the subdev active state,
but neither mxc_isi_crossbar_cleanup() nor mxc_isi_pipe_cleanup()
calls v4l2_subdev_cleanup() to free it.
This causes a memory leak on every rmmod, reported by kmemleak:
unreferenced object 0xffff0000d06fc800 (size 192):
comm "(udev-worker)", pid 254, jiffies 4294913455

__v4l2_subdev_state_alloc+0x1fc/0x30c
__v4l2_subdev_init_finalize+0x178/0x368
Add the missing v4l2_subdev_cleanup() calls before media_entity_cleanup()
in both crossbar and pipe cleanup paths.

mxc_isi_probe() allocates isi->pipes with kzalloc_objs() but never
frees it on any probe failure path or in mxc_isi_remove(), leaking
the allocation on every failed probe and every normal unbind.
Additionally, when mxc_isi_pipe_init() fails partway through the
channel loop or when mxc_isi_v4l2_init() fails, the already
initialized pipes are not cleaned up — their media entities and
mutexes are leaked.
Fix the pipes memory leak by switching from kzalloc_objs() to
devm_kcalloc(), which ties the allocation lifetime to the device
and eliminates the need for explicit kfree() in all error paths
and in mxc_isi_remove().
Fix the pipe init leak by cleaning up already-initialized pipes
in the err_xbar error path.
