i2c: Stop using the redundant client list
The i2c_adapter.clients list of i2c_client nodes duplicates driver model state. This patch starts removing that list, letting us remove most existing users of those i2c-core lists. * The core I2C code now iterates over the driver model's list instead of the i2c-internal one in some places where it's safe: - Passing a command/ioctl to each client, a mechanims used almost exclusively by DVB adapters; - Device address checking, in both i2c-core and i2c-dev. * Provide i2c_verify_client() to use with driver model iterators. * Flag the relevant i2c_adapter and i2c_client fields as deprecated, to help prevent new users from appearing. For the moment the list needs to stick around, since some issues show up when deleting devices created by legacy I2C drivers. (They don't follow standard driver model rules. Removing those devices can cause self-deadlocks.) Signed-off-by: David Brownell <dbrownell@users.sourceforge.net> Signed-off-by: Jean Delvare <khali@linux-fr.org>
