commonly "it also" in a commit message means a change, which should be done
separately, and this is the case here as well.

Because the adapter registration i2c_add_adapter() can fail, information
about the adapter initialization would be expected only in case of
successful registration.

The information sent to the kernel log buffer here is quite trivial,
probably dev_info() can be just removed, but in any case it should be
a separate change.
