I am fine with this to keep it simple, but thought I will check my thoughts.
We usually use reset_rx_to_maxsz in iterators as we don't know the expected
size of the response, whereas here it must be max sizeof(*resp_dom).

That said, we don't have any helpers and changing xfer->rx.len directly
doesn't looks good ? Or may be it is OK ? Thoughts ?
