So far lists are used to track special clients, i.e. auto-detected and
userspace-created clients. The same functionality can be achieved much
simpler by flagging such clients.

v2:
- The i2c_driver.clients list is core-internal, however there's an ALSA
  driver using it. So add patch 1 to address this first.

v3:
- Add missing mutex locks to patches 2 and 3

Heiner Kallweit (4):
  ALSA: ppc: Remove i2c client removal hack
  i2c: Replace list-based mechanism for handling auto-detected clients
  i2c: Replace list-based mechanism for handling userspace-created
    clients
  i2c: core: Remove obsolete members of i2c_adapter and i2c_client

Sorry for not having the time to review it in time for 6.13. As we found
with the last version, this really needs in-depth thinking. We will try
again for 6.14.

Thanks and happy hacking,
