     // Note: The I2C slave does clock stretching implicitly after a RD_REQ, while the Tx FIFO is empty.
     // There is also an option to enable clock stretching while the Rx FIFO is full, but we leave it
     // disabled since the Rx FIFO should never fill up (unless i2c_slave.handler() is way too slow).
