Really nicely done.  We don't normally get many first submissions at
this quality level.

One question and a _really_ small nit though.

Shouldn't this be tristate?

If so, this should be:

  depends on I2C

Can you remove this line?  We normally only print things when
information is gathered from a chip i.e. version information and the
like.
