Hi Dan,

Mixing two unrelated fixes in the same patch is a bad idea. Here, the
replacement of dprintk() with i2cdprintk() fixes a potential NULL
pointer dereference, this might be worth backporting to stable kernel
series. The double break, OTOH, can't cause any harm, it's a simple
clean-up. So separate patches would be preferable.
