I move that:
The TC agrees to resolve the following specification issue:
VIRTIO-116: ccw transport needs to allow failing WRITE_STATUS
--------------------------------------
The WRITE_STATUS ccw command needs to be able to fail, e.g. when the driver
wants to set FEATURES_OK  but the device can't work with the features.
--------------------------------------

The TC accepts the following proposed changes to the specification:
--------------------------------------
Failure scenarios for driver and device need to be documented:
- driver must check for failures of WRITE_STATUS and treat device as unusable
- device must post failure of WRITE_STATUS if the driver tries to set a wrong state

specification.
