Tested locally with an MCP2221 and SGP40 connected via STEMMA QT cable.

The _reset func looks a bit hack-ish, like it expects some kind of exception to be thrown. And for MCP2221, this ends up being a different exception. Otherwise, traffic looks nominally the same for MCP2221 and a QtPy running native CP.
