Unfortunately the 1 for indicating end of waitstates does only appear once so it actually rendered the driver non-functional - atleast with our tpms.

Yes, that's what I wanted to express in the cover letter, logically it makes sense to squash #1 and #3 - but reviewing it merged with #1 is quite hard since it "obfuscates" the problem - since too much stuff moves around.
That's why I decided to split it - for easier review.
