Good.

I thought this would be a problem in that case as we are using the global
virtio_adapter here.
+ vi->adap = &virtio_adapter;
+ i2c_set_adapdata(vi->adap, vi);
Multiple calls to probe() will end up updating the same pointer inside adap.
+ vi->adap->dev.parent = &vdev->dev;
Same here, overwrite.
+ /* Setup ACPI node for controlled devices which will be probed through ACPI */
+ ACPI_COMPANION_SET(&vi->adap->dev, ACPI_COMPANION(pdev));
+ vi->adap->timeout = HZ / 10;
These may be fine, but still not ideal I believe.
+ ret = i2c_add_adapter(vi->adap);
i
This should be a problem as well, we must be adding this to some sort of list,
doing some RPM stuff, etc ?
Jie, the solution is to allocate memory for adap at runtime in probe and remove
the virtio_adapter structure completely.
