aac_command_thread checks on the health of controller periodically, using aac_check_health. If the status is an error state KERNEL_PANIC or anything else. The driver will attempt to restart the adapter, but the response is not checked in aac_command_thread. This allows the periodic sync to go thru and lead the driver to a hung state. Fixed by terminating the periodic loop(intended per original design), if the controller is not restored to a healthy state.
