If masters are required by the spec to support all commands as Stephen
mentions, then I'd argue this is not a bug in the core code at all, but
in the spmi-pmic-arb driver.  But, unfortunately, having lost access to
the spec, I'll defer.

Regardless, I think this is useful as an optimization, just with dubious
justification.
