Ouch, I guess this will not work then. SCL is high in its idle state.
So, all busses except the active one will request high :(
I guess Markus would need some kind of locking for the shared SCL-GPIO
anyhow. Like bus Y has to wait until bus X has finished SCL toggling for
its transfer. That's how I understand it.
