But hardware doesn't. The API is fine when you bitbang everything, but
not when there's a controller that takes over some of the work, like
programming the address.

On such a controller, you have to pick apart struct i2c_seg* to figure
out which elements are addresses and which are data, and split things
into different registers.

I really don't see how it's useful to keep the data structures as low
level as possible and then require drivers for more capable devices to
uplift them to a higher abstraction level.
