If this condition is not met, it indicates a potential error in the device's response. This change aligns with the virtio specification, which states: "The driver MUST NOT make assumptions about data in device-writable buffers beyond the first len bytes, and SHOULD ignore this data." By failing the admin command when len is insufficient, we ensure that the driver does not process potentially invalid or incomplete status from the device.

The driver silently ignores any data falling outside the used buffer length reported by the device. Any missing fields are interpreted as set to zero. so if status is 0, device can just write a shorter buffer and driver must assume 0, which is success, not failure.
maybe we can make a sanity check that the len is at least 4B (status and status_qualifier) which is basic size to make sure device is acting as expected ?
