Yeah, I went back and forth on what's the best state to expose in the
small window between the transition to DEAD and the removal of the
attribute from sysfs. Settled on "mixed" as the best indicator of
"ambiguous". From an administrator point of the view the decoder is
still very much alive in hardware, but the kernel has lost track of its
setting.
