I think this is probably a better way forward, and I suspect we're going
to see more of this stuff. I wonder, however, whether the configuration
should be done here too (selecting page 1). Also, shouldn't we ensure
that we are on page 1 before attempting any access?

It would be good to pass this through checkpatch - I notice some lines
seem to be over the 80 character limit now.

A few comments below...

"iterations"

Was there something wrong with:

	val = res[4] << 8 | res[5];

here?

Maybe call this "protocol" rather than "type" ?

Same here (protocol vs type).

Otherwise, I don't see much else wrong.
