[PATCH 5.4 001/111] i2c: dev: Fix the race between the release of i2c_dev and cdev
From: Greg Kroah-Hartman

commit 1413ef638abae4ab5621901cf4d8ef08a4a48ba6 upstream.
The struct cdev is embedded in the struct i2c_dev. In the current code,
we would free the i2c_dev struct directly in put_i2c_dev(), but the
cdev is manged by a kobject, and the release of it is not predictable.
So it is very possible that the i2c_dev is freed before the cdev is
entirely released. We can easily get the following call trace with
CONFIG_DEBUG_KOBJECT_RELEASE and CONFIG_DEBUG_OBJECTS_TIMERS enabled.

This is a common issue when using cdev embedded in a struct.
Fortunately, we already have a mechanism to solve this kind of issue.
Please see commit 233ed09d7fda ("chardev: add helper function to
register char devs with a struct device") for more detail.
In this patch, we choose to embed the struct device into the i2c_dev,
and use the API provided by the commit 233ed09d7fda to make sure that
the release of i2c_dev and cdev are in sequence.
