So - to be clear here, I meant a 'read error', as in perhaps a
one-bit-flip or something else, not an error detected and propogated by
the I2C controllers.
I.e. ... something happening on the bus that gives a different result
but the 'read' was successful.... it's just that it returns a different
value than expected.
Given our noisy bus, not certain bus speeds, etc etc, I believe this can
happen.

And so here you might have had a 'successful' read of the wrong value,

Ok, now I'm confused, that's what I was talking about!
Before we did do this, and now we don't. Ergo - functional change.

I still think there's a functional change, but I'm not all too worried
about it.
As I said before, I think it's worth the retry in that event, which
didn't happen before, so my tag still holds.
