So, it is not possible to read SCL status then? Hmm, currently a working
get_scl is required...

Well, I don't know much about this IP core and how/where it is used. I
just wonder what happens if another user comes along using an
open-drain GPIO. Is that possible?
I assume it is the same with SDA? Non open-drain? Output only?
