The link to the I2C specification is broken and is replaced in this patch by one that points to Rev 6 (2014) of the specification. Although `https://www.nxp.com" hosts the Rev 7 (2021) of this specification, it is behind a login-wall and thus cannot be used. Signed-off-by: Deep Majumder <redacted>
Thanks for pointing out this issue!
The official I2C specification is the `"I2C-bus specification and user -manual" (UM10204) <https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/user-guide/UM10204.pdf>`_ +manual" (UM10204) <https://www.pololu.com/file/0J435/UM10204.pdf>`_
I'd think we should have two links. One to the latest official specs, even though it is behind a login wall. And one to the latest free version. For that, I think the archieve.org address which Wikipedia uses is more stable thant the pololu address from above: https://web.archive.org/web/20210813122132/https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/user-guide/UM10204.pdf What do you think?
