> 2.1 Device Status Field reads in part:
> *****
> The driver MUST update the Device Status field in the order below to indicate its progress. 
> *****
> The antecedent of "its" is unclear. 
> I am assuming "its progress" refers to the Device and not the driver. But as written, it could be either one.
> If Device, suggest: "A driver MUST update the Device Status field to indicate the state of its device."
> Reasoning that a Device Status field belongs to a particular device and that is the field that should be updated. 
> BTW, I said "A driver" because we are talking about any driver and not some driver in particular.
