[PATCH 00/10] i2c/drm: fix i2c adapter device driver user counter

The 01/10 change adds and exports new of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node()
interface of i2c core, the rest of patches fix current users of
of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() interface.

of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() call requires quite often missing
put_device(), and i2c_put_adapter() releases a device locked by
i2c_get_adapter() only. In general module_put(adapter->owner) and
put_device(dev) are not interchangeable.

This is a common error reproduction scenario as a result of the
misusage described above (this is run on iMX6 platform with
HDMI and I2C bus drivers compiled as kernel modules for clearness):

    root at mx6q:~# lsmod | grep i2c
    i2c_imx                10213  0
    root at mx6q:~# lsmod | grep dw_hdmi_imx
    dw_hdmi_imx             3631  0
    dw_hdmi                11846  1 dw_hdmi_imx
    imxdrm                  8674  3 dw_hdmi_imx,imx_ipuv3_crtc,imx_ldb
    drm_kms_helper        113765  5 dw_hdmi,imxdrm,imx_ipuv3_crtc,imx_ldb
    root at mx6q:~# rmmod dw_hdmi_imx
    root at mx6q:~# lsmod | grep i2c
    i2c_imx                10213  -1

                                 ^^^^^

    root at mx6q:~# rmmod i2c_imx
    rmmod: ERROR: Module i2c_imx is in use

To fix existing users of these interfaces and to avoid any further
confusion and misusage in future, add one more interface
of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node(), it is similar to i2c_get_adapter() in
sense that an I2C bus device driver found and locked by user can be
correctly unlocked by i2c_put_adapter().

Mainly the change concerns DRM users of I2C bus device.

The change is based on torvalds/master branch, d6ac4ffc61a
