err: 'rxport->ser.client' dereferencing possible ERR_PTR()
i2c_new_client_device() returns error pointers on failure and in
dev_dbg statement we are dereferencing error pointer which is a bug.
Fix this by using IS_ERR() which checks for error pointers.

Found with static analysis, only compile tested. Although in
drivers/media i2c_client_has_driver() checks are present, IS_ERR() would
probably be sufficient here.

Good catch. I think this should be modified to return
PTR_ERR(rxport->ser.client) instead of -EIO. Do you want to update the
patch or shall I do the change?
