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.
