When i2c_new_dummy fails, the lack of error-handling code may
cause unexpected results.
This patch adds error-handling code after calling i2c_new_dummy.

What results?
Where is the analisys?
Would driver work w/o these dummy devices?

It might potentially be a regression if the driver used to work when
dummy device creation failed.
