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 of the bus.
