Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: i2c: testunit: use proper reST
This document is hardly readable when converted to HTML. Mark code
sections as such and use tables to improve readability a lot. Some
content has slightly been moved around, but no significant changes were
made.

This is a preparational patch before adding more features to the
