To recap: list_for_each_safe() is not safe for deleting other than
the current "item". But I disagree with you Martin because I think
the usage in i2c_del_driver is ok as is; and that w83781d.c should
change...

My first patch was naive; the patch below solves the problem by
letting w83781d_detach_client remove the three clients (1 * primary
+ 2 * subclients) independently. It's a noisy patch because I had
to change the way the subclients were kmalloc'ed - sorry. The meat
is around line 1422. This patch works for me... comments?
