i2c_new_dummy is typically called from the probe function of the driver for the primary i2c client. It requires calls to i2c_unregister_device in the error path of the probe function and in the remove function. This can be simplified by introducing a device-managed version. Note the changed error case return value type: i2c_new_dummy returns NULL whilst devm_i2c_new_dummy_device returns an ERR_PTR.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
