Smatch warns:
  drivers/media/i2c/ds90ub960.c:1671 ub960_rxport_add_serializer():
  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.

This is based on static analysis and only compile tested.

V1->V2: Suggestion from Tomi Valkeinen: Propogate the error code with
PTR_ERR() instead of -EIO.
