I remember wishing I could drop support, asking around, and a few
people replying to me that 10-bit slaves actually exist. But of course
I can't find the discussion thread again.

I can see one driver for a 10-bit address I2C device:
drivers/media/i2c/tw2804.c (device instantiated from
drivers/media/usb/go7007/go7007-usb.c.)

However it seems that in many cases I2C_M_TEN is used directly (instead
of the more correct I2C_CLIENT_TEN.) See for example
drivers/input/touchscreen/atmel_mxt_ts.c,
drivers/input/touchscreen/elants_i2c.c,
drivers/input/touchscreen/mms114.c,
drivers/media/pci/cx23885/cx23885-i2c.c,
drivers/media/pci/cx25821/cx25821-i2c.c, which are clearly talking to
10-bit I2C devices, but without instantiating an i2c_client for them.

I see also commits explicitly adding or fixing 10-bit address support
in various I2C bus drivers, I don't think developers would be doing
that if they didn't need it.
