Would you rather see this rendered as:

        if (list_empty(&client_list)) {
                client->client_id = 0;
        } else {
                struct ib_client *last; 

                last = list_last_entry(&client_list, struct ib_client, list);
                client->client_id = last->client_id + 1;
        }

or move the declaration of 'last' up to the top of the function?

I didn't spot it until last night either ...
