[PATCH v7 2/4] i2c: npcm: Modify the client address assignment

Hi Tyrone,

Do we care how it was done previously? I think this is not a
useful information as the code readers will se the code the way
it is now, not the way it was done "previously".

(there is a related comment at the end)

I could rephrase this sentence to something like:

/*
 * Store the address early in a global position to ensure it is
 * accessible for a potential call to i2c_recover_bus().
 */

We can now get rid of slave_addr. It's just used in
npcm_i2c_master_start_xmit(). Right?
