Interesting, I didn't know that.

Right. Yet, AFAIU only when sending responses to other nodes, or? It
does not drive this one remote device with address 0xNN but acts itself
as device 0xMM.

+1 for inclusive naming. I like the "interface" addition.

Oh, and one other question I have meanwhile: do you really need
"mctp_current_mux" as a device attribute or is it mere debug and could
go away when upstream?
