I hacked something like this, but it seems it was not enough.

This is not sufficent. We shouldn't break being a master only because we
also listen to a slave address (as long as the HW supports that of
course).

This is fragile. Try scanning the bus with i2cdetect and slave setup
will be gone.

Just to make clear: I am not saying we should support talking to our own
slave address. But it should still be possible to communicate with other
remote devices on the bus.
