Yes it is a little hackish, the idea is to let i2c-core remove the
device if our i2c_driver is removed (which happens when you rmmod the
module). I'll add a comment to explain that. If there are more use
cases I might move that to a helper function in i2c-core.
No it's not racy, we're called with i2c-core's main mutex held.

No, that's a leftover, I intended to remove it but forgot. It's gone
now. That being said, it's useless, but I don't think it would hurt.

OK, thanks.
