Thank you!  This is kern/100513 (although the PR believed that ichsmb
was the correct one, not the one at fault).

>From my experience, the way FreeBSD now do it seems to be the "more
standard" way, in that I2C datasheets usually give the xxxxxxx0b address
as the device address, however NetBSD (at least) seems to use the
address in the MSB=0 form.  I suspect this is probably worth documenting
explicitly somewhere.
