Do basic address validity checks when a client is being registered. We
already had checks in place for devices which are being detected, but
not for devices which are simply instantiated.
This is a very basic check. We don't want to do strict checking here
because some devices are known to infringe the I2C address constraints
(e.g. IR receivers at 7-bit address 0x7a while this value is
supposedly reserved for 10-bit addresses.) So we assume the caller
knows what it is doing.
