Hi Ludvig,

you are right, good catch.

I would also say, reviewing this now, that the following line:

ph->xops->reset_rx_to_maxsz

it is not called when skipping (even by the original code) BUT
this is not a problem given that VOLTAGE_DOMAIN_ATTRIBUTES is not
a command returning a variable length reply, so it really never
needed to reset the buffer size to max when called in a loop.
(almost all of these command are now embedded in the iterator
helpers that take care to call reset_to_maxsz on their own
internally)

I'll post a fix to remove that last unneeded line soon-ish.

In the meantime, regarding this patch instead:

Thanks for this,
