I don't think we need to be overly conservative here; all evidence so
far shows that the accelerometer-related EC functions are pretty
resilient (hell, they've been taking the crap that vanilla hdaps
throws at them). Since so far we've seen just two valid 4-byte
responses to the EC check function, just accepting both seems
reasonably safe and much easier for everyone.

Actually, I prefer to get the bug reports so we can gather the new
data and fix it for everyone (and it's easy enough to patch the
sourcecode if one really needs to).
