Subject: [PATCH v2 3/4] i2c: smbus: drop warning about muxed segments
 requirement

The check and warning are very specific to the SPD usage of the i801
driver. That was fine as long as i801 was the only caller of
i2c_register_spd(). Now that piix4 also wants to do the same the check
and warning are not accurate anymore.
Instead of introducing a more complicated calling protocol only to print
a warning, drop the warning.
