(Mark, what's your suggestion on this?)
I'm not really concerned about the code, the comment is fairly clear except that it'd be good to mention that this is safe for data sizes other than 24 bit. It's certainly really much more confusing than the existing code and if it works better that's obviously good!
If you're fine with it, i'm also ok. This probably is a suitable solution for now since finding out the strange IC behavior of this issue may need much longer time without IC people's help and it's still not on the plan.
Fabio, You can update the patch with Mark's suggestion and resend it.
