yes, I understood the difference between "client" and "target".
The problem I see here is that this is not described in the
specification (except for some pictures in the i3c, iirc).

So that the change slave/client looks a bit arbitrary and I hear
some people don't like it.

That's why I need to know a bit more about the choice :-)

Thanks,
Andi
