      Description

      It was observed on older PCs with PCIe controllers implementing Rev 1.0a that accessing DPM content leads to crashes of the system.

      To reduces the risk of this happening, the toolkit needs to detect the reset by the removal of NSF_READY of the firmware and don't perform any DPM access until it is deemed to be safe again.

      The timeout in question is dependent on the hardware configuration (HWC) setup performed by the ROMloader of the given device.

      There are no official timings available yet. However, the recommended timeout was stated to be 1 second until further investigation has been completed.
