i2c_verify_client() can fail, so we need to put the device when that
happens.

Fixes: 525e6fabeae2 ("i2c / ACPI: add support for ACPI reconfigure notifications")

RFC because I don't know if it can be that the returned dev is not an
i2c_client. Yet, since it can happen theoretically, I think we should
have the checks.

NAK, this will do double put and messing up with reference counters.
Besides the fact, that device may disappear after looking up which leads us to
even more problems.

See how i2c_acpi_find_client_by_adev() is used in callers.

Perhaps proper "fix" is to add the explanation to a comment in the code to
prevent false positive reports in the future?

Ah, sorry, I need to read it more carefully...

I hope it's not a CoVID-19 makes me mistakenly commented in the first place. :-)

So, theoretically below is possible, but practically it's doubtful.

The I2CSerialBusV2() ACPI resource can be present solely in I²C slave device
nodes according to the specification. However, we might have two possible cases
a) screwed up ACPI table;
b) I²C master which in turn is I²C slave.

While a) has been so far unseen, b) case sounds like plasible for I²C muxes IIUC.

So, I agree with the patch, and sorry for the first reaction.
