commit 6cbf8b38dfe3aabe330f2c356949bc4d6a1f034f upstream.
Commit 31b9887c7258 ("i3c: remove i2c board info from i2c_dev_desc")
removed the boardinfo from i2c_dev_desc to decouple device enumeration from
setup but did not correctly lookup the i2c_dev_desc to store the new
device, instead dereferencing an uninitialized variable.
Lookup the device that has already been registered by address to store
the i2c client device.

This fixes the previously reported -Wuninitialized that gets upgraded to
an error on 5.15:
drivers/i3c/master.c:2203:3: error: variable 'i2cdev' is uninitialized when used here [-Werror,-Wuninitialized]
2203 | i2cdev->dev = i2c_new_client_device(adap, &i2cboardinfo->base);
| ^~~~~~
As my previous messages pointing out this fix for a simple cherry-pick were
seemingly ignored, I sent the patch hoping it would get this issue finally
resolved.
