SubjectRe: [PATCH] i2c: core: fix potential use-after-free on adapter removal
Hi Michał,

I finally had a look at your patch...

... and found a different approach for this problem from 2019:

http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/linux-i2c/patch/1577439272-10362-1-git-send-email-vulab@iscas.ac.cn/

I think this is also proper. I found other subsystems in the kernel
first putting the module, then the device. Do you see problems with the
above patch?

Thanks for looking into the issue!

Wolfram
