Subject: [PATCH] [i2c] robotfuzz-osif: Add error handling for i2c_add_adapter in osif_probe

This patch introduces error handling for the i2c_add_adapter. This missing
error handling was identified through static analysis, revealing that the
function did not properly address potential failures of i2c_add_adapter.
Previously, such a failure could result in incomplete initialization of
the I2C adapter, leading to erratic behavior.

Although the error addressed by this patch may not occur in the current
environment, I still suggest implementing these error handling routines
if the function is not highly time-sensitive. As the environment evolves
or the code gets reused in different contexts, there's a possibility that
these errors might occur. In case you find this addition unnecessary, I
completely understand and respect your perspective. My intention was to
enhance the robustness of the code, but I acknowledge that practical
considerations and current functionality might not warrant this change
at this point.
