I have checked the mt8135 and mt6589 GPIO datasheet, there are pins on
mt8135 or mt6589 for i2c4~i2c6, we also can use i2c4~i2c6 modules on
mt8135 or mt6589 after set pinmux. Sorry about the misunderstand before.
I will add i2c4~i2c6 nodes to the mt8135.dtsi in next patch.

Because the mt6397 HW limitation, it's i2c module cannot be used when
apart from mt6589 or mt8135.
Take mt6589 for example:
If we want to use mt6397 i2c pins, it must work together with mt6589,
also we need to set the i2c control register on mt6589(DIR_PATH and the
other registers) and then the HW will auto handle the communication
between mt6397 and mt6589 internal(do not need any SW control), so data
can go/from mt6397 pins. In this case the i2c pins on mt6397 will work
just like the i2c pins is from mt6589.
