Right, this is why the arguments of the ternary operator above are
exchanged. The old function was basically 'is_odd'.

True, but it will work nonetheless because we are only interested in bit
0 of the result. For one bit, XOR and addition are interchangable. The
overflow to other bits is not important.

I think it is. I mean, I3C wants odd parity, otherwise it will not work.
And Jarkko kindly confirmed it still works.
