The code should be fixed anyway - it is trivial to rewrite such that
there are no problems even if both branches would be executed.

Please note that the test is a plain i2c_probe(), so any other I2C
device you may attach to such a board can cause a false positive here.

Thinking again about this, the approach of using i2c_probe() is kind
of questionable.

Who guarantees that no other I2C device has been attached that uses
the "free" address?

The needed change is small, and defensive programming has always been
a good idea.  Please let's have this fixed.

Best regards,
