We may need to set SITRE before programming slave_data.

Do you have a documentation cite for this or is it random fiddling with a

It is good to enable SITRE register before programming it and all

That sounds like someone quoting religion. Documentation cite please.

SLC90E66 datasheet only says that SIDETIM register has no effect without SITRE bit set.
