'packet_id' is used for checking sequence whether in order, it need be static variable independent from sur40_poll().

Also, we process all blobs in one pass so there is no need to preserve value of packet_id between calls to sur40_poll().
OK, thanks, I will/should send patch v2 for it. -- Chen Gang
