This series fixes several resource management bugs in the imx8-isi driver:
- A use-after-free triggered during rmmod because crossbar pads were
freed before media links referencing them were removed.
- A memory leak of subdev active state due to missing
v4l2_subdev_cleanup() calls in crossbar and pipe cleanup paths.
- A memory leak of isi->pipes on probe failure and normal unbind.
- Missing cleanup of already-initialized pipes when probe fails
partway through the channel loop or during v4l2 init.
All four issues trace back to the original driver introduction in
cf21f328fcaf ("media: nxp: Add i.MX8 ISI driver").
Changes in V2:
- Split the previous patch 3 ("media: imx8-isi: fix isi->pipes memory leak
in probe and remove") into two separate patches:
- Patch 3/4: fix isi->pipes memory leak by switching to devm_kcalloc()
- Patch 4/4: clean up already-initialized pipes on probe failure
- Link to V1: https://patchwork.linuxtv.org/project/linux-media/cover/20260424231926.406079-1-xiaolei.wang@windriver.com/
