ChangeSet 1.2014.1.21, 2004/11/08 16:45:21-08:00, khali@linux-fr.org [PATCH] I2C: Check for unregistered adapter in i2c_del_adapter The patch adds a check at the beginning of i2c_del_adapter in case someone attempts to remove an adapter that was never added in the first place. This sounds like a good safety, as doing so will lead to an oops at the moment. Also, I have a need for it in the latest version of my i2c-amd756-s4882 patch. I need to remove the original adapter and install the virtual ones instead, but I have no way to know if the original adapter was succesfully added beforehand or not.
