I would recommend keeping ARRAY_SIZE(); even if nothing's been added in
a while, it's still clearer in the code if we can see where these `4`
come from.
Something like this instead?

Note that sizeof is evaluated a compile time, so `u8 tmp[ARRAY_SIZE(id)]`
is *not* a VLA. All that's needed was to remove `len` :)
