With the return I shouldn't need to.  I'll fix this.

It could be deferred to later.  The main point is that I don't see the
slave_config happening every transaction.  I was only modifying it now instead
of making a register write for every transaction.

Good catch.  Will fix.

There is no way to get current position unfortunately without relying on
unreliable debug registers.
