I would be super-surprised if this is really a restriction and not a
very precise documentation. In other words, I am quite sure that there
is no difference between the bit forcing SCL high (via high-impedance)
and the internal RIIC handling when it needs SCL high. Most I2C busses
are open-drain anyhow.

Or is it confirmed by hardware engineers that RIIC is able to support
push/pull-busses but only this bit cannot?
