Ok. I know it now for the next time :)

It seems reasonable. Thanks.

It is needed to specify that the I2C master can't honour clock stretching done by I2C slave devices, as it cannot read back SCL.

Ok.

It is the maximum time that the I2C master should wait for SCL to go high when a I2C slave is "clock-stretching".
