Is it okay to pass lifeCycleOwner to viewModel function?

[Jaehwa-Noh]

I just notice lifeCycleOwner passed to viewModel function.

socialite/app/src/main/java/com/google/android/samples/socialite/ui/camera/CameraViewModel.kt

Lines 142 to 148 in 67d823a

	fun startPreview(
	lifecycleOwner: LifecycleOwner,
	surfaceProvider: Preview.SurfaceProvider,
	captureMode: CaptureMode,
	cameraSelector: CameraSelector,
	rotation: Int,
	) {

But in the ViewModel documentation, that gives a caution that situation.
https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/viewmodel#implement-viewmodel

Caution: A ViewModel usually shouldn't reference a view, Lifecycle, or any class that may hold a reference to the activity context. Because the ViewModel lifecycle is larger than the UI's, holding a lifecycle-related API in the ViewModel could cause memory leaks.

Is it supposed should be refactoring that related code?
