As I mentioned privately, I don't think this is right, unless your
clock signal is inverted or my protocol spec is wrong...

Your clock toggle is written so you call it right after the rising
edge. It does delay, 0, delay, 1.

But according to the FSI timing diagram I have, you need to establish
the data around the falling edge, it gets sampled by the slave on the
rising edge. So as it is, your code risks violating the slave hold
time.

On input, you need to sample on the falling edge, right before it. You
are sampling after the rising edge, so you aren't leaving enough time
for the slave to establish the data.

You could probably just flip clock_toggle() around. Make it: 0, delay,
1, delay.

That way you can do for sends: sda_out + toggle, and for receive
toggle + sda_in. That will make you establish your output data and
sample right before the falling edge, which should be ok provided the
diagram I have is right.

Cheers,
Ben.
