This summarises the observed behaviour: (1) When I read 188 bytes from SEC, I notice first byte isn't 0x47. So, I count how many bytes need to be skipped to get to the 0x47 byte. For illustration, let's say 8 bytes need to be skipped. (2) Now I do CA_RESET ioctl on matching CA device and wait 3 seconds. (3) Repeat step (1) but now I count 4 bytes need to be skipped. (4) Do CA_RESET. (5) NULL packets can't be read now. (6) Do CA_RESET. (7) Repeat step (1) and now 184 bytes need to be skipped. (8) and so on...
