Subject: [RFC PATCH] i2c: skip of_i2c_register_device() for invalid child nodes

of_i2c_register_devices() adds all child nodes of a given i2c bus
however in certain device trees of_alias_from_compatible() and
of_property_read_u32() can fail as the child nodes of the device
might not be valid i2c client devices. One such example is the
i2c aux device for the DRM MST toplogy manager which uses the
display controller device node to add the i2c adaptor [1] leading
to an error spam like below

i2c i2c-20: of_i2c: register /soc@...isplay-subsystem@...0000/display-controller@...1000/ports
i2c i2c-20: of_i2c: modalias failure on /soc@...isplay-subsystem@...0000/display-controller@...1000/ports
i2c i2c-20: Failed to create I2C device for /soc@...isplay-subsystem@...0000/display-controller@...1000/ports
i2c i2c-20: of_i2c: register /soc@...isplay-subsystem@...0000/display-controller@...1000/opp-table
i2c i2c-20: of_i2c: invalid reg on /soc@...isplay-subsystem@...0000/display-controller@...1000/opp-table
i2c i2c-20: Failed to create I2C device for /soc@...isplay-subsystem@...0000/display-controller@...1000/opp-table

Add protection against invalid child nodes before trying to register
i2c devices for all child nodes.
