of: property: add i2c-parent to fw_devlink supplier bindings

Platform-device i2c muxes (i2c-mux-reg, i2c-mux-gpio, ...) reference
the bus they multiplex with an i2c-parent phandle and hold a reference
on that adapter from probe until remove. Unlike muxes that are clients
on the parent bus, they live outside the adapter's device hierarchy,
so nothing orders their teardown against it: if the adapter's device
is unbound first — e.g. while reverting a device-tree overlay whose
changeset attached the mux nodes before the controller nodes —
i2c_del_adapter() blocks forever in
wait_for_completion(&adap->dev_released), waiting for a reference that
is only dropped later in the same teardown sequence.

Teach fw_devlink about i2c-parent so the core creates the
corresponding device links: consumers are unbound before the parent
adapter's device, and probe ordering no longer needs -EPROBE_DEFER.

A plain DEFINE_SIMPLE_PROP() cannot be used because the property has
two incompatible layouts: the i2c mux bindings hold a list of bare
phandles (i2c-demux-pinctrl takes several), while toshiba,tc9563 holds
a single phandle followed by an i2c slave-address cell. The two forms
are indistinguishable in the flattened tree, and a 0-cell parse of the
tc9563 form would read the slave address as a phandle, linking the
consumer to whatever node happens to carry that phandle value. Use a
custom parser that only takes entry 0 for toshiba,tc9563 nodes.
