Dear Dan,

I'm sorry for missing that. :(

Now I remember that you asked for this specifications at least once (if not
twice). I'll redo the commit message and add the list above in v7. I guess
that I have to do the same in 15/19.

Thanks (even if I don't yet know anything about KASan).

I didn't notice the warning. This too will be fixed in v7.

I don't want to add mistakes on mistakes. I guess that you are talking of the
same fix you wrote above and that "return le16_to_cpu(data);" is correct.
Am I interpreting your words in the correct way?

Here too, I'm a bit confused... Do yo prefer the original code or you're
saying that, although the original code works fine, I made the correct choice
in changing it? Can you please confirm?
