Applied, thanks.

I agree. Feel free to only add the yes/no flag in that column for the
devices for which you know the answer, and we can populate the rest
later. All the datasheets are available so it should be doable although
this will take some time due to the large number of supported devices.

That being said, this column will really only start being interesting
if/when we actually implement support for the slave mode. Not sure who
needs this.
