Hi,
A quick review.
- Please make it a built in dissector.
- No C++ style comments(//)(see README.developer on compabillity)
- Follow the style of other dissectors by placing proto_reg_handoff() an
  proto_register() at the end of the file.
- +static const value_string packettypenames[] = {
  pregix with brp
  +static const value_string brp_packettype_names[] = {
- +static const value_string hf_brp_stat_vals[] = {
  do not prefix with hf
  +static const value_string brp_stat_vals[] = {
- #include <stdio.h> not needed.
- Declaring hf fields do not duplicate the field description
+        { &hf_brp_type,
+        { "Type", "brp.type", FT_UINT8, BASE_DEC, VALS(packettypenames), 0x0,
+        "Type", HFILL }},
Should be
+        { &hf_brp_type,
+        { "Type", "brp.type", FT_UINT8, BASE_DEC, VALS(packettypenames), 0x0,
+        NULL, HFILL }},
Run tools/checkhf.pl


- Do not use tvb_memcpy() use tvb_get_guint8()
- +            proto_tree_add_item( brp_tree, hf_brp_type, tvb, offset, 1,
FALSE ); offset += 1;
 I'd prefere that as two lines, FALSE should be ENC_BIG_ENDIAN as we are
chenging that.
- A reference to a protocol spec would be nice and an entry to the wiki
protocol pages.
- Using the standard boiler plate would be nice too
