Crap, was going to add that, but forgot. Will do in v2.

15 bytes transfers work every time (at least to extent I tested it).
For 16 byte transfers it depends on the transfer type. AUX transfers
work for a while but then fail (as tested by dd'ing AUX chardev). I2C
transfers work intermittently and when they fail return completely
bogus status.
