Hi Thomas,

I think you mean 'clients' or 'devices' here, not adapters (masters),
right? So, it seems you have a bus without a pull-up resistor (or a
broken one?) but use now a push-pull design. This is against the I2C
standard and for most circiuts quite dangerous as it can lead to
shortcuts.

Do you have any hints that the bus is designed this way? In which driver
do you want to use the new flag?

Thanks,

   Wolfram
