Do you mean adding something like this:

struct i2c_algorithm {
/*
* If an adapter algorithm can't do I2C-level access, set master_xfer
* to NULL. If an adapter algorithm can do SMBus access, set
* smbus_xfer. If set to NULL, the SMBus protocol is simulated
* using common I2C messages.
*
* master_xfer should return the number of messages successfully
* processed, or a negative value on error
*/
int (*master_xfer)(struct i2c_adapter *adap, struct i2c_msg *msgs,
  int num);
....
int (*set_speed)(struct i2c_adapter *adap, unsigned int speed);
....
/* To determine what the adapter supports */
u32 (*functionality)(struct i2c_adapter *adap);

...
};

And expose this feature in functionality?
