I'm wondering what the driver really should do if it encounters unknown
status bits.
I'd expect that new status bits are guarded by a feature bit and that
the device should not set status bits if the respective feature bit has
not been negotiated. Therefore, unknown status bits would be a host
error and the driver should consider the device to be broken.
Thoughts?
