Are you referring to the fact that the command allows the user to not specify
the bus number (relying on a default value instead)? If so, I agree with you
that it is problematic. If I had my way I would've made it a mendatory
parameter along with the device address, but that will hurt backwards
compatibility. I'll be more than happy to redo the last 3 patches if we
agree that we are willing to pay that price.
