On a technical level, why are you asking for 256 bytes here, and in the
control message, yet assuming you will only get 6 back for a correct
message? Shouldn't you be only asking for 6 bytes?

So if 100 is returned by the device (not likely, but let's say 7), then
you return 7 bytes, yet you did not copy the data into the pointer given
to you.
SHouldn't you report a real error for when this happens (hint, it will.)
