Description of the problem/feature request/other

When using an asynchronous I2C instance to initialise I2CDisplayInterface, (such as esp_hal::i2c::I2C<'static, esp_hal::peripherals::I2C0, Async>,), which implements embedded_hal_async::i2c::I2c rather than embedded_hal::i2c::I2c, an error occurs.

I wrote an implimentation in embedevices-rs/ssd1306 which creates the trait bounds for this, except it doesn't account for people using the library without async. Maybe an async version of I2CDisplayInterface (e.g. I2CDisplayInterfaceAsync) or additional trait bounds which are enabled when the async feature is enabled would fix this issue?

While this error isn't particularly readable, it shows the problem:

error[E0277]: the trait bound `embassy_embedded_hal::shared_bus::asynch::i2c::I2cDevice<'static, NoopRawMutex, I2C<'static, I2C0, Async>>: embedded_hal::i2c::I2c` is not satisfied

Fwiw you can use the I2C interface directly by doing e.g. I2CInterface::new(i2c, 03xc, 0x40) rathe then going though the I2CDisplayInterface helper, avoiding the need to fork.

Creating a Async version with maybe_async_cfg should be trivial; The other option is to just drop the trait bound, though that would push the error down to later in the code if it doesn't do i2c (or async i2c)

unfortunately, using I2CInterface doesn't seem to work either (unless I'm missing something) as this does not satisfy the other trait bound. maybe_async_cfg seems like a decent way of going about this.
