Shouldn't the device state be RESET and not SYS_ERR at that point?

The device will enter SYS_ERR (and trigger an interrupt for that).  Host 
issues MHI_RESET.  Device is expected to clear SYS_ERR and enter the 
RESET state.  Then the device clears MHI_RESET.  Device can then trigger 
an interrupt to signal the state change (per the updated spec).

I was going to add my reviewed-by, but I'm confused by your comment.
