The above assignments are still confusing, but I think I understand what's
going on. You run on OF based environment and some code uses of_*() APIs
instead of fwnode ones. That's why the current implementation in the I²C core
doesn't work.

The current code does this:

	client->dev.of_node = of_node_get(info->of_node);
	client->dev.fwnode = info->fwnode;

when it should do something like device_set_node() instead.

Yeah, there is a series in the mailing list [1], but it has no comments and
no move so far...

TL;DR: it seems in this change is incomplete.
