This is still == NULL though. :(

A for loop is also fine, but I think it would push the 80 character
limit which is probably OK. I'm happy either way, but a for loop is
usually easier to reason about. I suggested while to fit within 80
characters :/

		for (i = 0; i < DIV_ROUND_UP(rx_bytes, bytes_per_fifo_word); i++)
