I reviewed the i2c changes and an adapter or two as well - can't see
anything obviously wrong with it.  I haven't actually compiled it yet
though... I'll do that Friday.  I'll have to get some 2.4.x kernels fired
up around here first.  :)  Thanks for doing this!  Here are some comments...

Are there any users of i2c-core:i2c_use_client()?  I find none in our
package nor in 2.4.28-rc2.  I ask because that's the only caller of
i2c_inc_use_client() which you modified.  I see some v4l2 users in 2.6.x
though; so maybe there are out-of-kernel (2.4.x) drivers that need it?

Also, should we backport this?
