We now have the updated I2C specs and our own Code of Conduct, so we
have all we need to switch over to the inclusive terminology. Define
them here.

+Outdated terminology
+--------------------

+Historically, controller was named "master" and client was named "slave". These

+discouraged by the Linux Kernel Code of Conduct. You may still find them in
+references to documentation which has not been updated. The general attitude,
