The of_find_i2c_adapter_by_node() could end up failing to find an
adapter in certain conditions. Specifically it's possible that
of_dev_or_parent_node_match() could end up finding an I2C client in
the list and cause bus_find_device() to stop early even though an I2C
adapter was present later in the list.

Let's move the i2c_verify_adapter() into the predicate function to
prevent this. Now we'll properly skip over the I2C client and be able
to find the I2C adapter.

This issue has always been a potential problem if a single device tree
node could represent both an I2C client and an adapter. I believe this
is a sane thing to do if, for instance, an I2C-connected DP bridge
chip is present. The bridge chip is an I2C client but it can also
provide an I2C adapter (DDC tunneled over AUX channel). We don't want
to have to create a sub-node just so a panel can link to it with the
"ddc-i2c-bus" property.

I believe that this problem got worse, however, with commit
e814e688413a ("i2c: of: Try to find an I2C adapter matching the
parent"). Starting at that commit it would be even easier to
accidentally miss finding the adapter.

This commit is sorta just jammed into the middle of my series. It has
no dependencies on the earlier patches in the series and I think it
can land independently in the i2c tree. Later patches in the series
won't work right without this one, but they won't crash. If we can't
find the i2c bus we'll just fall back to the hardcoded panel modes
which, at least today, all panels have.

I'll also note that part of me wonders if we should actually fix this
further to run two passes through everything: first look to see if we
find an exact match and only look at the parent pointer if there is no
match. I don't currently have a need for that and it's a slightly
bigger change, but it seems conceivable that it could affect someone?

(no changes since v1)

@Wolfram, I know it's late, but perhaps you could consider picking this
up for 5.13? It has no dependencies on the other patches in the series
and would simplify merging the rest in the next cycle.
