i2c_verify_client(9) return parameter as i2c_client, or NULL

SYNOPSIS

struct i2c_client * i2c_verify_client(struct device * dev);

ARGUMENTS

dev

device, probably from some driver model iterator

DESCRIPTION

When traversing the driver model tree, perhaps using driver model iterators like device_for_each_child(), you can't assume very much about the nodes you find. Use this function to avoid oopses caused by wrongly treating some non-I2C device as an i2c_client.
