I had to check the data sheet for that acronym. They call the
registers LHC. I somewhat prefer that name, but if you're happy with
it as-is then that's fine.

I assume this is not an issue on the g4/ast2400?

Where's the 0xc4 come from? I can see 9 registers, which would mean
the length should be 0x24?
