Pause the measurement while reading fifo values. Initially an interrupt
is triggered if watermark of the FIFO is reached, or in case of
OVERRUN. The sensor stays mute until FIFO is cleared and interrupts are
read. Situations now can arise when the watermark is configured to a
lower value. While reading the values, new values arrive such that a
permanent OVERRUN state of the FIFO is reached, i.e. either the FIFO
never gets emptied entirely because of permanently new arriving
measurements. No more interrupts will be issued and the setup results
in OVERRUN. To avoid such situation, stop measuring while solving an
OVERRUN condition and generally reading FIFO entries.
