      Description

      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.
