I2C_USE_CLIENT(9)                    I2C and SMBus Subsystem                    I2C_USE_CLIENT(9)



NAME
       i2c_use_client - increments the reference count of the i2c client structure

SYNOPSIS
       struct i2c_client * i2c_use_client(struct i2c_client * client);

ARGUMENTS
       client
           the client being referenced

DESCRIPTION
       Each live reference to a client should be refcounted. The driver model does that
       automatically as part of driver binding, so that most drivers don't need to do this
       explicitly: they hold a reference until they're unbound from the device.

       A pointer to the client with the incremented reference counter is returned.
