I'd suggest the reason codes to be somewhat standard.
The groups I can think of: - timeout - device did not respond to the reset request - device reject - FW or else has nacked the activation req - host incapable - one of the participating hosts (in MH) is not capable of handling live activation - host denied - one of the participating hosts has NACKed - host timeout - one of the p. hosts did not ack or done the procedure in time (e.g. has not toggled the link) - failed reset - the activation itself had failed - failed reinit - one of p. hosts was not able to cleanly come back up
