(f) Wait signal (WAIT)
The wait signal is output by a slave device to inform the master device that the slave device is in wait state due
to preparing for transmitting or receiving data.
During the wait state, the slave device continues to output the wait signal by keeping the SCL pin low to delay
subsequent transfers. When the wait state is released, the master device can start the next transfer. For the
releasing operation of slave devices, see section 17.4.5, “Cautions on Use of I2C Bus Mode.”

Set low because slave device drives low,
though master device returns to Hi-Z state.
No wait is inserted after 9th clock cycle.
(and before master device starts next transfer.)
