Forgive me if I have this wrong (it's still very early here), but this
doesn't leave any room for the payload?

<-- length -->
<ck len><- payload length ->
[CK][CK][D][A][T][A] .. [64]

It is my hope that length would always be larger than the size of the
checksum, or else there would never be any data?

Should this not be:

if (unlikely(length > RAVE_SP_MAX_DATA_SIZE))

Nit: Adding the check is also an unrelated change, so would require a
separate patch.
