This needs somebody to go thru data sheet and check for possibilities, what you
described above is not gonna fly. Okay, "in a robust way".
I can't believe there is nothing in the communication protocol that may
increase a robustness.

This is (semi-)ABI and preferably should be hard coded explicitly.
