My suggestion is to do that incrementally. First, get your driver
accepted. Second, do the cleanups which affect elektor as well later.

I wondered about that. Can the PCF8584 really act as a slave, too?
Somewhen I need to check its datasheet.

Not sure if I understand you correctly, but if the bus freq is too fast
then devices won't respond. Too slow is not a problem.
