In some cases we know that the controller will be always used in slave mode and
master is just a bulk. In order to drop that, introduce a separate configuration
parameter for master mode. Default it to core to avoid regressions.

I think we should go to a opposite direction - reduce the number of I2C_DESIGNWARE_ config options rather than add new ones. We already have 5 config options for it.

Size of i2c-designware-core.ko is around 12 kB with all master, slave and Baytrail semaphore code built in so I don't think it justifies the added config complexity. I think distributions will have anyway all of those options set.

Having those code in separate modules and load only when needed might make sense as that would save a few kB of RAM.
