Apple M1 has at least 5 i2c controllers. i2c0, i2c1 and i2c3 are used

MacBook Pro uses i2c2 and i2c4.

On further testing: i2c3 is not used on the 1GbE variant of j274. iBoot
actually kills the node entirely. The interesting thing is it doesn't
work; it times out probe transactions. I suspect iBoot does not enable
its clock or something like that.

I'll poke around this on IRC, but a priori we probably need m1n1 code to
kill this node when the ADT doesn't have it. Maybe I should generalize
the dwc3 killing code...

Did that as of m1n1 be7ff3a, so we're good now :)

For those following along in the list: the reason why i2c3 was getting stuck is because it seems the unused bus is weakly pulled low on these machines, which jams it. Setting the GPIO pull mode to pull-up makes it work as an empty bus, but let's just not instantiate at all in this case. m1n1 now checks the Apple DT and sets any FDT i2c devices that are not present in it to disabled.
