* Catch the slave interrupts and send appropriate i2c_slave_events to the backend.
+Note that most hardware supports being master _and_ slave on the same bus. So,
+if you extend a bus driver, please make sure that the driver supports that as
+well. In almost all cases, slave support does not need to disable the master
+functionality.
