There is no need to force users of i2c_master_send()/i2c_master_recv()
and other i2c read/write bulk data API to cast everything into u8 pointers.
While everything can be considered byte stream, the drivers are usually
work with more structured data.
Let's switch the APIs to accept [const] void pointers to cut amount of
casting needed.
