We wanted to add an optional feature to track i2c slave status.
the NPCM has 16 channels handling multiple devices each. Some of the devices
are polled periodically, and might power down.
The user wanted to implement a health monitoring option
to occasionally check the status of the buses (how many timeouts, recovery etc.)
This feature is optional and depends on CONFIG_DEBUG_FS The counters are exposed
to user through the file system.

No, the NPCM has an option to respond to multiple slave addresses
(10 own slave addresses)

Not exactly, readx_poll_timeout includes only a read operation, here there is a
write in the middle. (iowrite8)
