Subject: i2c: implement i2c_verify_adapter
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=643dd09eb27b40ced671564edbe2640935fe37c2;p=linux-beck.git

i2c: implement i2c_verify_adapter

This converts a struct device * to a struct i2c_adapter * while verifying
that the device really is an I2C adapter. Just like i2c_verify_client.
