Uh, this means that if the buffer didn't complete for whatever reason, you will 
happily proceed and claim that this buffer you sent is really sent. You will 
never figure out that you need to re-send it. Sorry, but such a change cannot be
applied, since that just allows errors to creep in. Is there a bug in the MX6SX
or something so that it doesn't set this bit ?
