From: Stephen M. Cameron <scameron@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The hardware guys tell us that after initiating a software reset via the doorbell register we need to wait 5 seconds before attempting to talk to the board *at all*. This means that we cannot watch the board to verify it transitions from "ready" to to "not ready" then back "ready", since this transition will most likely happen during those 5 seconds (though we can still verify the reset happens by watching the "driver version" field get cleared.)
