Thank you for your feedback on my patch. I have a few questions to ensure
I make the appropriate changes.

I think you are suggesting that I should replace hard-coded values like the
buffer size with named constants. For example:
#define BUF_SIZE 8
unsigned char buf[BUF_SIZE];

Can I use macros like cpu_to_le32 for converting the bl_num and bl_len values.
Should I replace all instances of manual bitwise shifts with these macros?
For example:
u32 bl_len = 0x200;
buf[0] = cpu_to_le32(bl_num) >> 24;
buf[4] = cpu_to_le32(bl_len) >> 24;
Is using cpu_to_le32 appropriate for the data format required by this
device?
I will make the necessary updates once I have your confirmation.
