This doesn't feel very safe to me. To me it looks like the i2c core
wasn't designed to have the adapter be used before i2c_add_adapter()
is called. I guess it might work in this case since you provide your
own lock vfuncs.

I think someone should fix the i2c core to split i2c_add_adapter()
& co. into init and register phases. Cc:ing i2c folks...
