The idea was to walk all the bits and pick the first one that has a 
string associated with it.  I was finding that sometimes the reserved 
bits are set which would get you a NULL pointer deref.

Right; I was worried about that too but find_next_bit() will return the 
size argument when it doesn't find anything.

So that should be s5_reset_reason_txt[32] which has the "Unknown" string.
