Interconnect provider can't be optional if interconnect properties
present in a device-tree because drivers that use ICC path will get
-EPROBE_DEFER until ICC provider is registered.

Older device-trees don't have ICC properties, and thus, the ICC
users/consumers will get a dummy NULL ICC path in this case. I.e. ICC
core handles this for us.
