    I think we should switch to an I3C mindset. It seems the use cases
    we're discussing so far are I2C use cases. Keep in mind that I3C bus
    management is completely different from I2C one (event if I3C is
    backward compatible with I2C, it's just a feature, not the foundation
    of the I3C protocol).
