[PATCH] sound: Don't assume i2c device probing always succeeds

If i2c device probing fails, then there is no driver to dereference
after calling i2c_new_device(). Stop assuming that probing will always
succeed, to avoid NULL pointer dereferences. We have an easier access
to the driver anyway.

The code is similar to the one in therm_adt746x, for which Tim reported
a real-world oops, so it should be fixed ASAP.
