When `I2cAdapter::get` executes, it first calls
`bindings::i2c_get_adapter()` which increments the device and module
reference counts. It then takes a reference to the raw pointer and
converts it to an `ARef` via `.into()`.
The implementation of `From<&T> for ARef<T>` where `T: AlwaysRefCounted`
unconditionally calls `T::inc_ref()`. This leads to a second increment
to the reference counts.
Since the returned `ARef` will only release a single reference when
dropped via `dec_ref()`, this leaks one device and module reference count
on every call.
This fix was suggested by sashiko.dev.
