One simple reason for me personally.  I do not have the hardware and I am not
particularly interested in it.  I am interested only in cleaning up the smbus
interface and moving ig4iic to iicbus.  I want to get done with that as quickly
as possible and my goal is just that the result is not worse than the current code.
I am sure that people who are more interested than me can make the code much better.
