Browse source 
After unregister_device all fileops are blocked, except for ioctls.
So it is not just the open that is blocked, others are as well.

This will remove the device nodes from sysfs (causing udev to remove them
from /dev).
After video_unregister_device() returns no new opens can be done.
However, in the case of USB devices some application might still have one
of these device nodes open. You should block all new accesses to read,
write, poll, etc. except possibly for certain ioctl operations like
queueing buffers.
After video_unregister_device() returns no new opens can be done. However,
in the case of USB devices some application might still have one of these
device nodes open. So after the unregister all file operations will return
an error as well, except for the ioctl and unlocked_ioctl file operations:
those will still be passed on since some buffer ioctls may still be needed.
When the last user of the video device node exits, then the vdev->release()
callback is called and you can do the final cleanup there.
