SubjectRe: [PATCH v10] i2c: virtio: add a virtio i2c frontend driver

It looks OK so far; yet, it is not complete. But it might be bearable
in the end.

Makes sense to me.

If adding support incrementally works for such an interface, this makes
sense as well.

So, where are we? As I understand, this v10 does not support I2C
transactions (or I2C_RDWR as you said). But you want to support all
clients. So, this doesn't match, or?
