Yeah, it does, but I hate to see this in "real" code as something is
probably wrong with it if it happens.
Please move the rest of 'i2c_del_adapter' into the release function
(what was after the wait_for_completion() call), and then all should be
fine.
Are you sure about that? Some drivers do this, eg,
i2c_del_adapter(&drv_data->adapter);
free_irq(drv_data->irq, drv_data);
where drv_data was allocated using devm_kzalloc(), and so will be
released when the ->remove callback (which calls the above
i2c_del_adapter()) returns... freeing the embedded device struct.
But that will fail today if the memory is freed in i2c_del_adapter(), so
there shouldn't be any change in logic here.
Or am I missing something obvious?
The memory is not freed in i2c_del_adapter().
