On hardware busy the scan request pointer should be cleared, as higher levels will release. This avoids a crash when that pointer is erroneously used later.

When the hardware is busy the error is propagated to higher levels on the stack. Those layers release the buffer. Therefore the copy of the pointer must be erased. Otherwise subsequent events checking this pointer ma crash.
