Ditto.

In my opinion this brings more mess than removes. If I see 
dev->something I'll immediatelly think "struct device" and get confused. 
x_dev->something or dev_y->something not so much. And this change adds 
in my opinion more confusion than removes.

Honestly, what's is the value of this change? Yet another differently 
named "device" pointer more to the mess (Inconsistent naming use of 
struct dw_i2c_dev *dev, struct dw_i2c_dev *i_dev and struct device *dev 
in the i2c-designware-*).
