Subject: [PATCH] i2c-core: One function call less in acpi_i2c_space_handler()
 after error detection

From: Markus Elfring <elfring@...rs.sourceforge.net>
Date: Sat, 26 Dec 2015 07:30:35 +0100

The kfree() function was called in one case by the
acpi_i2c_space_handler() function during error handling
even if the passed variable "client" contained a null pointer.

Implementation details could be improved by the adjustment of jump targets.

This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software.
