[PATCH v2 0/3] i2c: introduce devm_i2c_new_dummy and use it in at24 driver

[Heiner Kallweit]

i2c_new_dummy is typically called from the probe function of the
driver for the primary i2c client. It requires calls to
i2c_unregister_device in the error path of the probe function and
in the remove function.
This can be simplified by introducing a device-managed version.

Make at24 driver the first user of the new function.

Changes in v2:
- add change to i2c core to make a version of i2c_new_device
  available which returns an ERR_PTR instead of NULL in error case
- few minor improvements

Heiner Kallweit (3):
  i2c: core: improve return value handling of i2c_new_device and i2c_new_dummy
  i2c: core: add device-managed version of i2c_new_dummy
  eeprom: at24: switch to device-managed version of i2c_new_dummy

[PATCH v2 1/3] i2c: core: improve return value handling of i2c_new_device and i2c_new_dummy

[Heiner Kallweit]

Currently i2c_new_device and i2c_new_dummy return just NULL in error
case although they have more error details internally. Therefore move
the functionality into new functions returning detailed errors and
add wrappers for compatibilty with the current API.

This allows to use these functions with detailed error codes within
the i2c core or for API extensions.

driver for the primary i2c client. It requires calls to
i2c_unregister_device in the error path of the probe function and

This can be simplified by introducing a device-managed version.

Looks good to me in general. I would just rename _i2c_new_device to
__i2c_new_device (with two leading underscores) as it seems to be a
consistent pattern for this kind of private functions in i2c core.
