If the read fails you'll not set an error code when you jump to out so
the probe will report success.  It might be clearer to have separate id
variables which you store the read values into if they're OK, just from
a legibility point of view.

It'd be nice to check that the type that was supplied matches the ID
read from the chip in case the user got things wrong, just for
defensiveness.
