Oh - I am sorry. Infact, I am taling about two different things here. No, I've 
seen no device failing because of this (16 vs. 32 bit problem).
I was mentioning this only as an additional thing to consider, at least from my 
side.
We are failing on some cases only because of the position we put the NDP part 
of the NCM frame. Infact, this 32-bit driver will work when the 16 bit one 
does, and fail when the 16 bit one does.
Thank you for your review and consideration.
It would be nice to see this code merged - but I think we might need to merge 
the two drivers in a way that reduces code de-duplication. But this might be 
work for a second take in case.
Thank you again,
Enrico
