Moikka,
thank you for the comment.
(and sorry for the late reply. I was off from work until recently.)
> Basically the issue is registering I2C driver and after that reference counting it as there is dvb frontend ops which are called.
In current DVB drivers, "struct dvb_frontend"s can be alloc'ed in two places,
in FE driver itself and in the client(adapter) driver,
but the patch alloc's the struct dvb_frontned in the probe() helper function,
so you cannot access frontend ops before registering the driver module.
The probe() helper function ref-counts the driver module as well,
so from clients' point of views,
the driver registering and the ref-counting are done at the same time.

I just read through the V4L2-core i2c subdev code and
did not studied much on other modules, tbh:P
Regards,
akihiro
