I can't see how was it less challenging before the commit. There is no
guarantee for a CSN message which was the only way for the i2c device to
get reparented to the connector.

How can we get here when drm_dp_mst_is_end_device(port) is not true?
AFAICS that's only case where we should create a connector and an i2c
device. (IOW we don't create them for branch ports.)
