I'd expect it to have pushed the read pointer to 0x5 at this stage, but
you have the hardware so can check this. If it stays at 0x4 then the
hardware is even more esoteric than I thought.. I suppose it does
provide an interesting cheap way to effectively turn off the buffer.
Let it fill up initially - from then on just read one value. It will overflow
one write later and you can read one more value etc. Horrible!

This is a particularly odd device so don't worry about it!

> I'm fairly sure this still doesn't work. If an overflow has occurred we need to read the full fifo. OVF_CNTR contains the number of readings that overflowed, not the number we need to read. Hence in the overflow condition it may read anything between 1 and 0x1f depending on how much we have overflowed.
