i2c-remove-redundant-i2c_client-list.patch

This goes on top of the patch removing most i2c_adapter.clients usage,
updating i2c_attach_client:

 - Don't call device_register() while holding clist_lock.  This
   removes a self-deadlock when on the i2c_driver.probe() path,
   for drivers that need to attach new devices (e.g. dummies).

 - Remove a redundant address check.  The driver model core does
   this as a consequence of guaranteeing unique names.

 - Move the "device registered" diagnostic so that it never lies;
   previously, on error paths it would falsely report success.
