Hmm, you mean just the variable names, right? And not function names
such as i2c_mux_reserve_(num_)adapters?

When I wrote it, I found no devm_ version of realloc. I'm not finding
anything now either...

Yes, that would work, but it would take some restructuring in some of
the drivers that currently don't know how many child adapters they
are going to need when they call i2c_mux_alloc.
Because you thought about removing i2c_mux_reserve_adapters completely,
and not provide any means of adding more adapters than specified in
the i2c_mux_alloc call, right?

That is only true if you actually have more than 80 characters, so I don't
agree. Are you adamant about it? (I'm not)

I added it in v4, you can check earlier versions if you like. Without
it most gate-muxes (i.e. typically the muxes in drivers/media) grew
since the i2c_add_mux_adapter call got replaced by two calls, i.e.
i2c_mux_alloc followed by i2c_max_add_adapter, and coupled with
error checks made it look more complex than before. So, this wasn't
much of a cleanup from the point of those drivers.

Yeah, thanks!
