Full ack.

I see. It must be written a non-zero value to leave the monitor mode.
But this really needs no callback, we can hardcode any non-zero value.
If slave support is (ever) to be implemented, the own address will come
from the I2C core.

Most drivers don't allow users to change the bus speed, so I think it is
safe to remove.
