The 01/10 change adds and exports new of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node()
interface of i2c core, the rest of patches fix current users of
of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() interface.
of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() call requires quite often missing
put_device(), and i2c_put_adapter() releases a device locked by
i2c_get_adapter() only. In general module_put(adapter->owner) and
put_device(dev) are not interchangeable.
This is a common error reproduction scenario as a result of the
misusage described above (this is run on iMX6 platform with
HDMI and I2C bus drivers compiled as kernel modules for clearness):
root@mx6q:~# lsmod | grep i2c
i2c_imx 10213 0
root@mx6q:~# lsmod | grep dw_hdmi_imx
dw_hdmi_imx 3631 0
dw_hdmi 11846 1 dw_hdmi_imx
imxdrm 8674 3 dw_hdmi_imx,imx_ipuv3_crtc,imx_ldb
drm_kms_helper 113765 5 dw_hdmi,imxdrm,imx_ipuv3_crtc,imx_ldb
root@mx6q:~# rmmod dw_hdmi_imx
root@mx6q:~# lsmod | grep i2c
i2c_imx 10213 -1
^^^^^
root@mx6q:~# rmmod i2c_imx
rmmod: ERROR: Module i2c_imx is in use
To fix existing users of these interfaces and to avoid any further
confusion and misusage in future, add one more interface
of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node(), it is similar to i2c_get_adapter() in
sense that an I2C bus device driver found and locked by user can be
correctly unlocked by i2c_put_adapter().
Mainly the change concerns DRM users of I2C bus device.
The change is based on torvalds/master branch, d6ac4ffc61a
