I agree, it's very unlikely that this would not work. Loops like this
just make me a bit uneasy =).

As we will catch the error via the return value, I think it's not worth
adding real-time tracking here, unless problems start to show up.

Sounds fine.

That's ok. As long as there's some indication that we're having an
issue. Or do you think some other part will break and print errors, and
it's easy to pinpoint to the fifo clearing? Well, I don't even know how
the fifo clearing could break....
