I know, "clean" is subjective.  But in what way was the old state
machine not "proper"?

And how is handling two states (port->state and next_state) cleaner?
As far as I can tell, the requirement for a separate variable comes not
from any inherent complexity of the state machine itself, but only
because the transmit_packet function was inlined.
