Hi Jeff,

Thanks for your feedback.

You are right, I will fix it in v2 together with some other improvements.

The spec said that software shall only set DITO, MDAT, DETO when
PxCMD.ST is cleared to 0. While disabling case doesn't need stop
engine because the above requirement is unnecessary for ADSE.
Please tell me if you have concern.
