    Subject[PATCH 09/24] macintosh: fix dangling pointers
    Fix I2C-drivers which missed setting clientdata to NULL before freeing the
    structure it points to. Also fix drivers which do this _after_ the structure
    was freed already.

    Found using coccinelle, then reviewed. Full patchset is available via
    kernel-janitors, linux-i2c, and LKML.
