Hi Easwar,

I2C v7, SMBus 3.2, and I3C specifications have replaced "master/slave"
I don't understand why we forget that i3c is 1.1.1 :-)
with more appropriate terms. Inspired by and following on to Wolfram's
series to fix drivers/i2c/[1], fix the terminology for users of
I2C_ALGOBIT bitbanging interface, now that the approved verbiage exists
in the specification.
The specification talks about:

 - master -> controller
 - slave -> target (and not client)

But both you and Wolfram have used client. I'd like to reach
some more consistency here.

Thanks,
Andi
