Hi Jagan and Jocke,

I'm back from vacation, so here's my answer:

Yes, It will work. When charSize < 32 in a loop execution, we necessarily also
have numBlks == 0, since numBlks = DIV_ROUND_UP(bitlen, 32) and charSize =
(bitlen >= 32 ? 32 : bitlen); in other words: we're at the very end of the data
to be sent/received and also the final loop execution, so we don't have to
advance the pointer anymore.
