Should we set the FAIL status flag here ?
E.g.:
		 reg->status |= STATUS_READ_FAIL;

Note: I have no idea why the status flags are different for the different
operations. We should really have a single SUCCESS/FAIL flag common to all
operations. So I think we could just do:

		reg->status |= STATUS_READ_FAIL | STATUS_WRITE_FAIL |
			STATUS_COPY_FAIL;

here, or go back to your v1 and handle the failure in each operation function to
set the correct flag.
