i2c-remove-redundant-i2c_client-list.patch
This goes on top of the patch removing most i2c_adapter.clients usage,
updating i2c_attach_client:
- Don't call device_register() while holding clist_lock. This
removes a self-deadlock when on the i2c_driver.probe() path,
for drivers that need to attach new devices (e.g. dummies).
- Remove a redundant address check. The driver model core does
this as a consequence of guaranteeing unique names.
- Move the "device registered" diagnostic so that it never lies;
previously, on error paths it would falsely report success.
