The checks where part of the original dissector code, and I just added it to
the new parts. But I agree, they can stay out.

But can you precise the filtering of the bytes payloads? Do you want to have
different tags for WriteIndex, ReadIndex and WriteMultipleIndex? I disagree on
the base of the protocol, because the payload always contains the exact same
objects. Also, filtering by payload does not happen in reality. Filtering
happens by index/subindex, node id, content type, message type and so on.
Therefore I would keep the same sdo field index for all sdo payloads and simply
allow for a filter which basically says, that there exists a payload.

I will upload the new version tomorrow.
