Maybe split "cleanup" of the bit definition and the new ones introduced
by the alternative command. You can also use BIT() macro.

Why this addition? TXCOMP is set after calling at91_twi_write_next_byte
in at91_do_twi_transfer. There is duplication in this case. It is also
calle from the interrup handler, an issue in this case?

Same remark as before. Maybe a comment about why this addition is
needed.
