static const struct v4l2_file_operations mxc_jpeg_fops = {
        .owner          = THIS_MODULE,
        .open           = mxc_jpeg_open,
        .release        = mxc_jpeg_release,
        .poll           = v4l2_m2m_fop_poll,
        .unlocked_ioctl = video_ioctl2,
        .mmap           = v4l2_m2m_fop_mmap,
};

Look like it is not true. .open() should be called only when device open,
not at probe()?
