Currently, when we discover a fatal error, we are queueing a work that
will wait for a lock in order to enter the device to error state.
Meanwhile, FW commands are still being processed, and gets timeouts.
This can block the driver for few minutes before the work will manage
to get the lock and enter to error state.
Setting the device to error state before queueing health work, in order
to avoid FW commands being processed while the work is waiting for the
lock.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
