Besides comments given against diff between series versions, see below.

I'm wondering why attach_client can't return this error and provide a guarantee
that if no error, the alias_id is never be 0?

I believe the correct way, while above still works, is

		device_set_node(&chan->adap.dev, bus_handle);
		fwnode_handle_get(dev_fwnode(&chan->adap.dev));

But I agree that this looks a bit verbose. And...

...OTOH, you set node with bumped reference here. So I leave all this to
the maintainers.

Now it's a bit misleading, wouldn't be better

err_put_fwnode:

?

Wondering if we may put this into namespace from day 1.

Isn't it the same as

	if (!adap)

What is private? The entire structure? Then why it's defined in
the include/linux/? Can't you make it opaque?

The function names are misleading, because I would think this is about driver
data that has been set.

I would rather use name like

	i2c_atr_get_priv()
	i2c_atr_set_priv()
