Slave ISR is called only if slave device is registered on a bus. Do you 
get master interrupts ?

Looks like my commit message is not clear enough :(

I mean something like this:
"If slave functionality is enabled, then ..."

Slave logic is not enabled by default (we don't set up proper 
configuration and slave address). We can enable it by default but it is 
useless without driver that will handle requests.

We used i2cdetect on the I2C bus where master NVEC controller is 
connected. i2cdetect found devices on the bus. Also keyboard and mouse 
was running fine after that (slave logic was not disabled).
