Hi Alistair,

Not a real review yet, but one thing I noticed on a quick first pass:

Let's please make this (and the corresponding receive) a dev_dbg!().
Otherwise the driver is too chatty at INFO log levels.

I suspect that I'm to blame here, because I recall pretty-ing up the
output of these, and I probably set dev_info!() at the same time. doh!

Here also: please use dev_dbg!() for this one.
