Seeing this consistent crash on next-20160314. Sorry for shortened traceback,
hand-transcribed as the crash doesn't get logged to /sys/fs/pstore as
expected. next-20160307 works just fine.

BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 000000000260

'git blame' doesn't seem to find anything relevant and recent in
kernel/notifier.c or drivers/i2c/i2c-dev.c. Does this ring any
bells, or is it time to bisect?
