I still don't know why you get lockdep warnings and I don't ...
but here's a patch that should help, by removing that lock!  :)

- Dave


================
Remove further duplication between i2c core and driver model:  the
per-adapter list of clients (adapter->clients,  client->list) and
its lock (adapter->clist_lock) duplicate adapter->dev.children.
 
LIGHTLY TESTED ... goes on top of two patches from Jean's I2C queue,

	i2c-remove-redundant-i2c_adapter-list.patch
	i2c-remove-redundant-i2c_driver-list.patch

Continuing in that naming scheme, this might be called

	i2c-remove-redundant-i2c_client-list.patch
