citation = line from ancient pdata struct comment cited in the commit message.

packaging matches. It is just as usual. I think VLogic (=VDDIO) would be 1.8V
while VDD needs to be something higher, so I guess here it might be 3.3V.
There are some slight hints about level shifting here:
https://product.tdk.com/system/files/dam/doc/product/sensor/mortion-inertial/imu/data_sheet/mpu-9150-datasheet.pdf
page 37. The aux i2c bus seem to run at levels till VDD. But here, there
seems to be nothing at the aux i2c bus besides that internal magnetometer.
