[ Upstream commit 249b4deaff71cfc6ac9a8e436af876be6d84052b ]
Instantiating a device by calling i2c_new_client_device() assumes that the
device is not already instantiated. If that is not the case, it will return
an error and generate a misleading kernel log message.
i2c i2c-0: Failed to register i2c client jc42 at 0x18 (-16)
This can be reproduced by unloading the ee1004 driver and loading it again.
Avoid this by calling i2c_new_scanned_device() instead, which returns
silently if a device is already instantiated or does not exist.
