The goal of this series is to have proper error messages whenever something in i2c_add_adapter() and friends fail. Then, we can hereafter drop all similar messages in drivers which is largely duplicated code and often not very helpful because they are too generic. To achieve this goal, we make sure that dev_* is used whenever a device is available. pr_* is used when we have at least an adapter name. If not, we use WARN to show the user the code path that failed. Error messages were added, fixed, and made consistent. Also, the first patch fixes a potential leak found while creating this series. Also, i2c_register_adapter() was a bit refactored to be easier to handle. Please look at the patch descriptions for details. A brach is here: git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/wsa/linux.git strings/i2c Looking forward to comments.
