Yikes I forgot too. Maybe we can do something like this:

- Read fit_reports and make sure they are ok
- Now try to read extra_reports, or even a single report. Make sure we get
  stuck (maybe using poll()?). Timeout and send an interrupt signal to the
  blocked thread to unblock it.
- Now also check that the end of the buffer is non-zero

So yeah, definitely more involved.

Thanks.
