Add some simple caching of the last used alias to skip some unneeded
scanning of the I2C bus. When freeing the device, the cache will be set
back.

Seems simplistic enough and would do the job, given the current
implementation...

Phew, I thought on the first read we were going to end up shrinking the
available alias pool when we unregister devices with high addresses, (I
missed the client->addr < adap->alias_idx statement first)

Potential here for a comment to clarify the alias_idx, but it's not
required:

Unrelated to this patch, but I love that the flag for CLIENT_TEN is 0x10 :-D

If you have a situation where a driver for a device with reprogrammable
I2C address is, say, built as a module and is reloaded repeatedly for some
reason, and also have the situation that the device keeps responding to
the last used address even after unloading the driver. Then I think you
have a problem, because as I read the code the alias address will increase
with every reload, and eventually hit the 0x78 roof.

No?

Cheers,
Peter
