The main difference between i2c_for_each_dev() and
bus_for_each_dev() is that i2c_for_each_dev() holds
the i2c core mutex while it is calling the passed
in callback.
And find_i801() calls i2c_get_adapter() which also
takes the i2c core mutex, so i2c_for_each_dev()
cannot be used here since then things deadlock.

I have just tried this and the compiler is happy with the ids variable
dropped, so I'll use that for v8.
