Let me try to explain once again :)
After seeing a message "i2c i2c-0: .... , addr=0x06, .." in dmesg log,
I was not able to find any such device in sysfs as well as device tree.
There was no device under /sys/class/i2c-dev/i2c-0/device/0-0006/
Isn't something wrong or missing ?

This patch fixes that missing parent child relation, which IMO
should be correct always, though it causes any major problem or not.

Still I am thinking, 0-0006 slave device(rtc) shouldn't also appear in DT?
As DT should describe the hardware that we are using.

Warm regards,
Yadwinder
