Wouldn't all this really speak for an i2c gate? Do all enablement stuff
in select(), all disablement stuff in deselect(), and make sure
deselect() is called after every transfer. That would mean the
passthrough is only active when the EDID eeprom is accessed. Would that
work? Given the above, it looks quite sane to do it like that in order
to avoid side-effects of the open passthrough.
