The I2C module cannot be a master and a slave simultaneously.
Such as: if the i2c module is used in slave mode with command
'echo slave-24c02 0x64 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-0/new_device',
At the mean time, you cannot do master operations(i2cset/i2cget). 
You can switch mode from slave to master with command 'echo 0x64
 > /sys/bus/i2c/devices/i2c-0/delete_device', then you can do master
operations.

Adding Leo to this version too.
