The v4l2_async_notifier_add_subdev() function requires the asd pointer
it receives to be allocated dynamically, but doesn't explicitly say so.
Only one driver out of 13 get its right (atmel-sama5d2-isc.c, but with
memory leaks in the error paths), clearly showing we have an issue.
Update the v4l2_async_notifier_add_subdev() documentation to clearly
state the allocation requirement. Whether this will be enough to avoid
new offending code isn't certain, but it's a good first step
nonetheless.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
