StateMachine.restart: Restarts the state machine
StateMachine.rx_fifo: Return the number of RX FIFO items, 0 if empty
StateMachine.tx_fifo: Return the number of TX FIFO items, 0 if empty
restart() seems to be the most useful one, as it resets the state machine
to the initial state without the need to re-initialise/re-create. It also
makes PIO code easier, because then stalling as an error state can be
unlocked.
rx_fifo() is also useful, for MP code to check for data and timeout if no
data arrived. Complex logic is easier handled in Python code than in PIO
code.
tx_fifo() can be useful to check states where data is not processed, and is
mostly for symmetry.
