ccw: add CCW_CMD_READ_STATUS
ccw currently allows the driver to update the status via the CCW_CMD_WRITE_STATUS command; however, it does not allow the driver to retrieve the current status at the device, which is needed to properly support DEVICE_NEEDS_RESET. Therefore, provide a new command CCW_CMD_READ_STATUS allowing the driver to retrieve the device status. Provide this command when revision 2 has been negotiated.
