After a repeated START condition (state 0x10) the 2-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 with-
out losing control of the bus.
