Well, just for the record: I believe this field was meant to be reserved
and always 0 in the CDC NCM spec.  Table 3-3, describing 16bit NDPs,
says so.  But reading the spec now, I noticed that there is an
inconsistency between table 3-3 and table 3-4 describing 32bit NDPs.  It
looks like the field is not reserved in the 32bit version.

I am pretty sure that is a specification error, but I guess it doesn't
harm to implement the support anyway.  And it paves the way for an MBIM
gadget :-)
