 bytes came up. Such an extension might be possible, usefulness is unclear at
 this time of writing. Some points to keep in mind when using buffers:
 
-* Buffers should be opt-in and slave drivers will always have to support
-  byte-based transactions as the ultimate fallback because this is how the
-  majority of HW works.
-
-* For backends simulating hardware registers, buffers are not helpful because
-  on writes an action should be immediately triggered. For reads, the data in
-  the buffer might get stale.

+  For reads, the data kept in the buffer might get stale if the backend just
+  updated a register because of internal processing.
 
 * A master can send STOP at any time. For partially transferred buffers, this
   means additional code to handle this exception. Such code tends to be
