Sure, slab.h and string.h are no more required.

Based one the above comment, it seems we are computing the byte size of
an usage array. I agree this might require to be more clear though.

Im not sure it will really make a significant difference as we actually
ihave a limited set of registers for the i2c driver, also could you
please clarify what protocol your refering to here ?

I am not completely sure aboud this yet, here 100ms is based on my own
*limited* experience, I agree we should stick to the 10ms.

Well I only have the "Programmer's Guide", I'll have to check that as it
really seems to works as it yet.
