While I confirm the patch looks generally OK, let me add the name of
this function is not quite self-explaining. The difference between "get"
and "decode" has nothing to do with the different actions these
functions do, i.e. the new function gets (or: decodes) info about  a
single address that is passed, the old "get" function gets the info for
the first address.

I'd suggest the new function be named of_i2c_get_board_info_one_addr or
similar. Not super nice, a bit long, but self-explanatory.
