Thanks for your comments. I had considered this since sending the patch. In 
reality I think we'd need to send 11 consecutive messages to which we receive
11 GoodCRCs without receiving a real response message from the partner to clear
the FIFO. Having looked again at the PD spec that seemed really unlikely, but...

...I do prefer your approach as it doesn't leave anything to chance. I'll
respin accordingly.
