If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. commit 7b90e32ec01200396a00a119c6fb5437c31367c2 Author: Jamie Iles <quic_jiles@xxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Sep 22 17:57:18 2021 +0100 i2c: acpi: fix resource leak in reconfiguration device addition [ Upstream commit 6558b646ce1c2a872fe1c2c7cb116f05a2c1950f ] acpi_i2c_find_adapter_by_handle() calls bus_find_device() which takes a reference on the adapter which is never released which will result in a reference count leak and render the adapter unremovable. Make sure to put the adapter after creating the client in the same manner that we do for OF.
