With your steps to reproduce, this is working for me in Dolphin 16.12.3,
libgphoto 2.5.12, and gphoto2 2.5.11. Can you still reproduce with more recent
software? If you can, I'll re-open the bug.

I closed all the panels. The problem still persists i.e.. Dolphin must be
closed to free up the device.

I also tried split view, and I had  no problems accessing the MTP device in
each side of the split.

No, I meant the Places/Information/Folders Panels. If they are shown, you can
hide them with F7/F9/F11, and you can close split views with F3. I'm wondering
if the problem disappears if you configure Dolphin this way and open the MTP
device then.

The reason why I'm asking is that it has been reported elsewhere (bug 356084)
that MTP does not work well in Dolphin, even though it works fine in the file
dialog of other KDE apps and in Konqueror. This is surprising to me because
everything appears to access devices in exactly the same way (namely, using
KDirLister from the KIO framework). One difference could be that Dolphin may
connect to the device multiple times with split views and panels, this is why
I'm asking if preventing this kind of multiple access helps.

As I noted in bug #356424, I don't know how to open an MTP device from the file
dialog of kwrite or kate. 

The problem occurs in Dolphin irrespective of how many tabs are open (I assume
that's what you mean by panels). For instance, if you browse the device in one
tab, close that tab, but leave Dolphin running with a tab that has not browsed
to the MTP device, Dolphin still retains exclusive control of the MTP device.

Thanks for the bug report. 

1. Can you reproduce the problem also with the file dialog of, e.g, KWrite?
2. Does it help if you close all panels in Dolphin and have only 1 view?
