I think a better location for this section would be in the beginning 
after the

Device Feature List (DFL) Overview

The reader will be looking for the details of the Header once they have 
read the overview.

It would be handy if they were next

Missed describing feature revision bits 12-15

There as two VER's, it would be clearer if they were different. maybe 
REV for bits 12-15

Similar below.
