I am partly wrong here because you send a START beforehand. And devices
are required to reset their state machine when they detect a START (I2C
Specs 3.1.10, Note 4). So, it *shouldn't* be dangerous. If all devices
follow that rule, that is...

However, you can only send START when SDA is not stuck. And still, this
whole toggling is to reanimate a stuck SDA. So, it still looks to me
that it doesn't make sense to have START & STOP around the toggling and
rather have a single STOP before you try toggling.

Makes sense?
