I view them a bit differently, I think. of_i2c_decode_board_info() is a
helper function to retrieve "some" addr. It is used by
of_i2c_get_board_info() which has the special case of getting the first
address. of_i2c_register_device() is the other user with the case of
getting each address specified. So, I wouldn't put this helper function
on the same level as the users of this helper.

Yet, no strong opinion here, I will think about it...
