James,
Perhaps there should be a new reset called:
     ...RESET_LOGICAL_UNIT

as this is now defined as a task management function in SAM-3.
If so ...RESET_DEVICE might get a synonym: ...RESET_TARGET.
Most transports support a RESET_TARGET while RESET_BUS is
SPI specific (is there an FCP equivalent?).
