[PATCH/RFC] preserve video-device parent, set by the driver

[Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@xxxxxx>]

There doesn't seem to be any real requirement to override video-device 
parent, set by the driver, even if a v4l2-device is linked to the 
video-device, being registered. Let the driver control the parent pointer, 
if it needs to.

Marked as RFC, because I'm not sure, that there's no some hidden meaning 
in this parent pointer manipulation. However, I haven't been able to find 
any.
