Why did you move the rescan up above the synaptics test? if the synaptics
is out of sync, any byte can be recieved.

Could client_cmd be renamed to f.ex. rate_param?

The 4th protocol byte from a guest is the 3rd byte in the encapsulated
packet from the pad. So I would move "if (..." last.

There might be a (de)multiplexing problem here. The button information
(pressed/released) in byte 0 and 3 is lost, and are not repeated in the
guest protocol.

Bit 2 in the pads second mode byte must be set if the guest uses a 4 bytes
protocol. So you need to check which protocol is negotiated on the slave
port.
