[PATCH] i2c: allow building emev2 without slave mode again

[Wolfram Sang]

Hi Arnd,

thanks for looking into this, but I don't get your point yet.

Only if a master wants to READ from us.

An error is only returned if a WRITE from a master was not accepted by
the slave backend.

We need that because in case of an errno, the slave should send NACK to
the master instead of ACK.

True. But giving a slave the possibility to NACK a write should be
present IMO.

Hum, it does return an error?

	return client->slave_cb(client, event, val);

You probably mean something else?
