Oh, now I get it.

It doesn't fit into 80 characters if we use &client->dev as the first
argument, but I see that client->dev is used extensively in probe() so
we could probably use a separate struct device *dev helper variable
for that. I'll note it for future refactoring that will happen soon. I
prefer that this patch stays as it is though.

Thanks,
