Hi Linus,

Actually I wonder if this is a good idea: when just seeing "dev" I often
have hard time to remember what device we are dealing with, whereas
"client->dev" gives a very string hint that we are dealing with I2C
peripheral physical device.

Did you observe object code savings from the conversion by chance?

Thanks.
