From: Jean Delvare <khali at linux-fr.org> i2c: Warn on i2c client creation failure Warn when an i2c client creation fails. If we don't, the user will never know something wrong happened, as i2c client creation is typically called through an attach_adapter callback, those return value we currently ignore for technical reasons.
