The variable p is a data structure which is used by the driver core
internally and it is not expected that busses will be directly accessing
these driver core internal only data.

Minor nit, likely/unlikely should only be used on very "hot paths" where
the difference if it is not included can be measured.  the "register a
device" path is not "hot" at all.

That being said, the patch is fine with me:

I can submit a patch afterwards to remove the "unlikely" if that is ok 
with Wolfram.

Removed the unlikely() and applied to for-next, thanks!

This doesn't work. I see a number of these WARN_ON()s trigger and I
think the reason is that i2c_init() always fails now. The cause seems to
be that i2c_init() calls i2c_add_driver(&dummy_driver), which will now
always fail, because is_register is set to true *after* that call. There
is no way I see I2C working at all after this patch.

Same conclusion here. Too much trust applied to the original patch, mea
culpa and sorry! Will send the fixup (tested!) in a minute.

No worries. There's nothing like good old runtime testing for making
sure things really do work. =)

Sorry for the mess. Fengguang Wu did send me a warning, but since I was
travelling i could not do much with it.
Sorry again.
