[PATCH] PowerMac11,2 i2c-bus at 0 duplicate dev-tree workaround

On a PowerMac11,2, there are two i2c-bus at 0 nodes of which only the first
is correct. This patch makes the device tree unflattening code ignore
the second one on those machines.

I'm not sure this is the right way to do it. Maybe we should have some
'dev-tree quirks fixer' that makes a third pass through the device tree
after the allnodes chain has been set up, and fixes it up. On the other
hand, as long as there aren't too many workarounds, this works fine.

The patch looks longer than it is because some code changed indentation
level.
