Could you please elaborate about this hunk? What is the issue, how was it found, how are we certain that this is the fix?

what is the issue with this? The intention of !! is to normalize the value to 0 and 1. Now .ti can have 0x02 and 0x00 as value. Why is that needed?

Why don't we need to advance this cursor anymore?

	offs = rlc->data_offs_bits[1] / 8;

What is the misunderstanding here. How did we think we needed to take bits from two different octets?

Again, why the change from 0 or 1 to .. 0 or 1 .. and 0 or 2?

Please explain the intention here. What is the issue with tfi_b? Why do you change it. Why do you pick the new bsn1_a and bsn1_b values?
