i2c: Fix NULL pointer dereference in i2c_new_probed_device

Already in Linus' tree:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=b25b791b13aaa336b56c4f9bd417ff126363f80b

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).
