Fixes an off by one array size.

The Status/ID is an 8-bit value (OK, the standard states it can be a
8, 16 or 32-bit value, however both of the chipsets we support at this
point in time support an 8-bit value), why do we need a 256th entry in
the array?
Hi Martyn,

8 bit signal spans 256 values from 8'b0000_0000 to 8'b1111_1111.
In order to serve that we need a C array of size 256.
callback[255]; in the original code means that array has 255 elements
with indices from 0 to 254, there would be no way to register callback
for a valid Status/ID value of 255 (aka 8'b1111_1111). For that we
need a 256th element.

Err, yep. (Curses self for being so stupid.)
