I think you may be reading too much into the intent of the code.

I don't know that anyone has ever run "i2cdetect -q" on these buses, I
know that I haven't. Since I2C is inherently unprobable, we specify the
presence of all devices from the device tree passed by system firmware.
Runtime scanning for devices is not necessary.

That said, it is not a big deal one way or the other with respect to
this patch. If someone verifies that "i2cdetect -q" does something
sensible, then there is probably no harm in dropping this patch.
