I think Mike suggested we specify what device would return while reset is in
progress, rather than any arbitrary non-zero value:

Sure.
Mike,
Do you suggest we add this as well for v3 device?
"after writing 0 to Status and before reading any fields, the driver
MUST read Status and wait for a read to return 0 or indicate failure"
