No, i2c-gpio is not suitable for this. It would mean Linux had to read
the GPIOs constantly to not miss anything, e.g. the remote controller
starting a communication. With all the latencies involved in running the
system, this cannot be guaranteed. You need dedicated HW for that.

Sorry for no better news,
