The timeout period for firmware messages is passed to the driver from the firmware in the response of the first command. This timeout period is multiplied by a factor for certain long running commands such as NVRAM commands. In some cases, the timeout period can become really long and it can cause hung task warnings if firmware has crashed or is not responding. To avoid such long delays, cap all firmware commands to a max timeout value of 40 seconds.

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.
