Subject[PATCH 10/24] media/radio: 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.
