i2c: Fix NULL pointer dereference in i2c_new_probed_device

hverkuil · Jean Delvare · commit b25b791b13aa · 2008-08-10T22:56:15.000+02:00
Fix a NULL pointer dereference that happened when calling
i2c_new_probed_device on one of the addresses for which we use byte
reads instead of quick write for detection purpose (that is: 0x30-0x37
and 0x50-0x5f).
