 No. There won't be a new command which will change response fields.
We are using lock to prevent peripheral registers read/writes during
sending ping command.

This implementation is used to send ping command and read and process
peripheral status when PREQ is asserted and this function is also invoked
after peripheral enumeration sequence is completed to collect updated
peripheral status.

IMO, it's not needed.
