mmhhh... I have to work with my memory and dig into my
documentations, but I think I've seen some STM sensors supporting
also 10 bit addresses.

The documentation I have is in line with the patch (I had to read
it twice, though), but I didn't want to exclude corner cases.

OK, I had a little hesitation here, but if you are sure about it
(and Andy as well) I'll take it in.

Thanks, Wolfram!
