the usecase is to avoid double getting of a pointer to the wanted struct
i2c_adapter with incrementing its user counter at once, now it is done
in two stages, namely find adapter and get adapter:
------8<------
struct i2c_adapter *ddc;
int id;
...
- ddc = of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node(ddc_node);
- if (ddc) {
- id = i2c_adapter_id(dcc);
- dcc = i2c_get_adapter(id);
+ dcc = of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node(ddc);
+ if (dcc)
+ put_device(&ddc->dev);
put_device(&ddc->dev);
- }
...
i2c_put_adapter(ddc);
------8<------
Since i2c adapted is locked by client, it might have sense to add
put_device() hidden inside of_get_i2c_adapter_by_node().

At the moment there is an intention to add clients in drivers/gpu/drm/*,
who should lock i2c bus driver to sustain DDC lines.
By the way to the current version the correspondent change in
include/linux/i2c.h is missing:
