So what this means is that to get the command/data bit we use:

	first_byte & 0x80

If that is correct I will remove this patch from the series and
will update the subsequent patches so bit 7 is the command bit,
bit 6 is reserved, and bits 0-5 are the pad length.

I will post a v2 of the series with these changes, and will
incorporate Bjorn's "Reviewed-by".
