If you don't find a deterministic event on failure to be useful for the
device side, you must have better visibility into your internal device
state than most others do. :)

The spec so badly defines abort, though, I have to agree you're right
to remove it. Since having a dependable event greatly helps debugging
field issues when device makers desperately want to blame the driver
for command timeouts, does it sound okay to have a module param toggle
its use, defaulting to off?
