Hello Andy,

thank you for the review.

I wanted to read the registers buf_status_1 and buf_status_2 --> 16 bits
and mask the result of the read to get the bits 0..9 which is the
buf_status: the number of bytes in the buffer

This is due to my lack of experience, but I have a question:
If I don't get any warnings when testing, how should I go about this ? I
will obviously fix this, but this is for the future.
