I think this nails it: Currently, the core doesn't use any I2C_FUNC_*
flags for checking anything. It is solely for exposing information to
users. I'd like to have FUNC_SLAVE in line with that for now.

If we are going to change that, it should be a seperate thread and not
limited to FUNC_SLAVE. I might note that for me this is not a priority
issue, so don't expect patches from me ;)
