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

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

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

I think just of_property_read_u32() should be enough to skip
non-I2C-device children. If of_alias_from_compatible() fails, it is a
legit error.


Thanks for the review.

of_alias_from_compatible() looks for a compatible string but all child nodes such as ports will not have the compatible. Hence below error will still be seen:

i2c i2c-20: of_i2c: modalias failure on /soc@0/display-subsystem@ae00000/display-controller@ae01000/ports
