static int em28xx_v4l2_close(struct file *filp)
{
        struct em28xx_fh *fh  = filp->private_data;
        struct em28xx    *dev = fh->dev;
        int              errCode;

        em28xx_videodbg("users=%d\n", dev->users);

        mutex_lock(&dev->lock);
        vb2_fop_release(filp);
	...

vb2_fop_release(filp) will, with your patch, also try to get dev->lock.

Sylwester's comment re em28xx is incorrect.

The naming for the most part. Having a normal function, a '_' prefix and a '__'
prefix is a bit over the top IMHO. I prefer to have a clearly named _unlock
version.
