Description
Please vote Yes if you agree with all of the following.
If you disagree, please vote No.
If you don't have an opinion, please vote Abstain.

I move that:
The TC agrees to resolve the following specification issue:
Issue #55: Entropy device: 5.4.6.1 lists wrong requirement
--------------------------------------
5.4.6.1 says: 

> The driver MUST NOT place driver-readable buffers into the queue.

It looks like it must be changed to 

> The driver MUST NOT place device-readable buffers into the queue.

Rationale:

The point of Entropy device is that driver supplies a buffer, and device fills it, so the buffer must be
device-writeable and driver-readable. 

Buffers that are device-readable (driver-writeable) cannot be used by device, so they must be forbidden.

Proposal (by mst): https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-comment/201911/msg00040.html
--------------------------------------

The TC accepts the following proposed changes to the specification:
--------------------------------------
https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/virtio-comment/201911/msg00040.html
--------------------------------------

The TC agrees to include the above change(s) in specification version(s) "virtio-v1.2-cs01", and future versions of the
specification.

--------------------------------------

Reminder: A Voting Member must be active in a TC to maintain voting rights.  As
the Virtio TC has adopted a standing rule to conduct business only by
electronic ballot, without Meetings, a Voting Member who fails to cast a ballot
in two consecutive Work Product Ballots loses his or her voting rights at the
close of the second ballot missed.
