An error log data structure shall be presented for each of the last four errors reported by the device.
These error log data structure entries are viewed as a circular buffer. The fifth error shall create an
error log structure that replaces the first error log data structure. The next error after that shall
create an error log data structure that replaces the second error log structure, etc.
Unused error log data structures shall be filled with zeros.
