Platform glue code, which is not build into the kernel and thus cannot use i2c_register_board_info() may want to use bus_register_notifier() to listen for i2c-adapters to show up on which the platform code needs to manually instantiate platform specific i2c_clients. This results in calling i2c_new_client_device() from the bus notifier which happens near the device_add() call. If the i2c-core has not yet setup runtime-pm (specifically the no-callbacks and ignore-children flags) for the device embedded inside struct i2c_adapter and the driver for the i2c_client calls pm_runtime_set_active() this will trigger the following error inside __pm_runtime_set_status(): "runtime PM trying to activate child device %s but parent (%s) is not active\n" and the i2c_client's runtime-status will not be updated. Split the device_register() call for the adapter into device_initialize() and device_add() and move the pm-runtime init calls inbetween these 2 calls so that the runtime-status can be correctly set when a driver binds from the bus-notifier. Note the moved pm-runtime init calls just override the initial value of some flags in struct device set by device_initialize() and calling these before device_add() is safe.
