After a repeated START condition (state 0x10) the Two-wire Serial Interface can access the
same slave again, or a new slave without transmitting a STOP condition. Repeated START
enables the master to switch between slaves, Master Transmitter mode and Master Receiver
mode without losing control over the bus.
