## Overview

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

media: video-i2c: use vb2_video_unregister_device on driver removal

The driver uses vb2_fop_release() as its file release operation, so
vb2_video_unregister_device() should be used instead of
video_unregister_device() during driver removal.

This ensures that the vb2 queue is properly disconnected before the
video device is unregistered.
