Drivers must maintain this status by setting and clearing a flag.
They set it before submitting, clear it in callback or if submission
fails. I thought we had your agreement on this as a stack maintainer.
In my practice so far it worked perfectly. Is there a specific driver
you have in mind where this requirement is inconvenient?
