Yes I have it in mind.

Generic bitbang has the advantage when we target a new CPU, we don't
have to deal with writing or porting some driver for new hardware I2C
unit we don't really care about (likely wanting to use interrupts we
don't want to deal with either).

Done as a state machine it has other advantages such as being able to
hide it inside other slow operations like pulling the kernel in if we
had to, instead of sitting there like U-Boot for ~1 second just spamming
the PMU on boot with the CPU spinning the whole while uselessly.
