I am looking for a straightforward recommendation for what terminology I, and hopefully others, should adopt *outside the i2c subsystem*, where Linux (typically) has a driver for the controller and is communicating with an unknown OS/firmware on the target. a) Spec-compliant "controller/target" b) Linux implementation/spec hybrid "controller/client", or c) Linux implementation "adapter/client" I prefer (a), FWIW, so do apparently reviewers on my series.
