Yes, that explains why the registration fails, but not why this patch is
the correct solution to the problem.
The problematic code appears to be:
snprintf(adap->name, sizeof(adap->name), "i2c-gpio%d", pdev->id);
Instead, I think that should be something more like:
adap->name = dev_name(&pdev->dev);
or perhaps:
if (pdev->dev.of_node)
/* named will be based on DT node name */
adap->name = dev_name(&pdev->dev);
else
snprintf(adap->name, sizeof(adap->name), "i2c-gpio%d", pdev->id);
?
