This bit is in the i2c controller register space, so it shouldn't be
controlled by some other driver. I think the configuration of this
register is already in the correct place. What I could think of is that
the PMIC could implement a pinctrl driver and the i2c controller driver
gets the pins from the PMIC. Anyway, the controlling of this bit would
still be in the i2c driver.
