[PATCH 0/3] i2c: dev: fix blocked adapter deregistration

From: Johan Hovold

Date: Thu Aug 27 2026 - 05:09:18 EST


As part of addressing i2c lifetime issues, this series fixes an issue
which may actually matter to some people, at least if they are playing
around with USB attached i2c controllers, and whose fix does not depend
on any larger rework.

This could possibly go into 7.3, but can also wait for 7.4 as the impact
of the issue (both in terms of number of affected users and symptoms)
should be limited.
