After host reset, the device are programmed to default asyn narrow nego. We need to reprogram the parameter back to previous values. If the host reset is called as a result of spi_dv_device() commands timing out, its possible to get into an infinite loop of dv to host reset. This will prevent that case, as we merely program old values. If host reset is called outside context of domain validation, then we can call spi_dv_device. Please apply. This applies over scsi-misc tree.
