Hi Uwe,

Looking up MAINTAINERS would have done it :)

>From Documentation/i2c/functionality:

Because not every I2C or SMBus adapter implements everything in the 
I2C specifications, a client can not trust that everything it needs
is implemented when it is given the option to attach to an adapter:
the client needs some way to check whether an adapter has the needed
functionality...

Regards,

   Wolfram
