This still seems to incorrectly describe the current behaviour.

Surely in most cases (i.e. every time except the first) the value of the
sync bit is 0 when the function is called and we get both a 0 to 1
and then a 1 to 0 transition.

That is why I recommended set-then-clear terminology to describe the
current behaviour. It is concise and correct.
