I was just looking at that lines in saa7164_i2c_register:

112         memcpy(&bus->i2c_algo, &saa7164_i2c_algo_template,
113                sizeof(bus->i2c_algo));

They seem like pointless to me. The real algo is set here:

 93 static struct i2c_adapter saa7164_i2c_adap_template = {
 94         .name              = "saa7164",
 95         .owner             = THIS_MODULE,
 96         .algo              = &saa7164_i2c_algo_template,
 97 };

This would also mean that this fields are also pointless:

254         struct i2c_algo_bit_data        i2c_algo;
255         struct i2c_client               i2c_client;

IMO, the issue pointed out by Dan would never appeared
if instead of using memcpy to fill the structures, it would just
get assigned; it's type safe, right?

Please correct me if I'm wrong,
Ezequiel.
