The field is optional and is present only when the host controller wants to initialize a target with a
known UID.
In that case, InitiatorData[] contains the UID of the card (or part of it). The UID must include the
cascade tag CT if it is cascaded level 2 or 3.
Cascade Level 1

AFI
The AFI (Application Family Identifier) parameter represents the type of
application targeted by the device IC and is used to preselect the PICCs before
the ATQB.
This field is mandatory.
Polling Method
This field is optional. It indicates the approach to be used in the ISO/IEC 14443-
3B initialization:
If bit 0 = 1: Probabilistic approach (option 1) in the ISO/IEC 14443-3B
initialization,
If bit 0 = 0: Timeslot approach (option 2) in the ISO/IEC 14443-3B
initialization,
If this field is absent, the timeslot approach will be used.
