The sizes of the structs are all over the place, so adding 4 bytes doesn’t do much. I assume you have a good reason, though.

I’m a little wary of doing this - in a packed structure this new field will be
mis-aligned.

wr_pointer is 121 (56 + 56 + 32 + 32 + 1), so 124 still makes sense, doesn’t
it? (also, 124 + 4 from command) % 8 == 0, so it’s nicely aligned.
