   Its own.

   I don't understand what this buys us, the following *while* loop will
be skipped anyway, and the *for* loop as well, I think... And ravb_rx_rcar()
doesn't have that anyway...

  I don't really understand this code (despite I've AKCed it)...
Biju, could you explain this (well, you tried already but I don't
buy it anymore)?

   This restores the behavior before:

   So does look correct. :-)
