This patch is allowing only ROM mailbox command which are necessary to initialize chip after a reset has been issued. In a target environment, there could be a user space daemon which can issue statistics and other management mailbox command which are non-critical. This patch will timeout non critical mailbox commands immediately rather than waiting for timeout, if driver detects that chip reset has been issued or chip reset is in progress.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. 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.
