This does not makes sense since there are too many verbs. Set and clear
are both verbs so in this context: "the code will set the bit and then
the code will clear the bit".

Either:

s/transitioned from set-then-clear/set-then-cleared/.

Or:

s/transitioned from set-then-clear/using a set-then-clear approach/.

Likewise this no longer makes sense and had also become misleading.
Two changes of state, clear and then set, do not usually result in a
single transition.

Either:

s/clear-then-set/0 to 1/

Alternatively, if you want to stick exclusively to the set/clear
terminology then replace the whole quoted section with:

  But, the FSC and brightness sync takes place when the sync bits are
  set (e.g. on a rising edge).
