[PATCH 1/2] i2c-dev: don't get i2c adapter via i2c_dev

From: Viresh Kumar
Date: Tue Jul 05 2016 - 22:57:42 EST


There is no code protecting i2c_dev to be freed after it is returned
from i2c_dev_get_by_minor() and using it to access the value which we
already have (minor) isn't safe really.

Avoid using it and get the adapter directly from 'minor'.
