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@0/display-subsystem@ae00000/display-controller@ae01000/ports i2c i2c-20: of_i2c: modalias failure on /soc@0/display-subsystem@ae00000/display-controller@ae01000/ports i2c i2c-20: Failed to create I2C device for /soc@0/display-subsystem@ae00000/display-controller@ae01000/ports i2c i2c-20: of_i2c: register /soc@0/display-subsystem@ae00000/display-controller@ae01000/opp-table i2c i2c-20: of_i2c: invalid reg on /soc@0/display-subsystem@ae00000/display-controller@ae01000/opp-table i2c i2c-20: Failed to create I2C device for /soc@0/display-subsystem@ae00000/display-controller@ae01000/opp-table Add protection against invalid child nodes before trying to register i2c devices for all child nodes.
