mxc_isi_pipe_unregister() calls mxc_isi_video_unregister(), which locks
the video->lock mutex. The mutex is initialized in
mxc_isi_video_register(), so you will have an issue here when reaching
this label from within the pipe registration loop for any non-registered
pipe.

One option to address this would be to return from
mxc_isi_video_unregister() if video->pipe is NULL.
