+ * This is the RP2040 puzzle bus driver. This file is no longer inside
+ * lib/pbdrv/drv/rp2040 as it is tightly coupled to both the pico-sdk and
+ * freertos functions. I have tried to get FreeRTOS to play nicely with the
+ * CMake subproject layout, but the pico-sdk and the rp2040 port of freertos
+ * both rely on CMake's import() functionality, which makes using FreeRTOS in a
+ * libary context extremely messy.
+ *
+ * The workaround implemented in this driver was already kind of messy, and a
+ * different microcontroller should be used for the main controller instead.

+ * it is configured as a (multi-)master with a slave address, such that it can
+ * be addressed by other multi-masters. This function includes a hacky
+ * workaround that teporarily sets the RP2040 to I2C master mode to send a
+ * message, and then restores it back to slave mode.
+ *
+ * This approach results in some received frames being (partially) dropped in
+ * the time period between the invocation of this function and the bus becoming
+ * idle (and the message is sent).
