Yeah, it does, but I hate to see this in "real" code as something is
probably wrong with it if it happens.

Please move the rest of 'i2c_del_adapter' into the release function
(what was after the wait_for_completion() call), and then all should be
fine.
I was about to do this as a follow-up patch. But Russell's and
Lars-Peter's responses made this obsolete already.
