From: Meenakshi Venkataraman <meenakshi.venkataraman@xxxxxxxxx> Shadow registers in the device are meant to allow the driver to update certain device registers without needing to wake up all components of the device. However, using this feature in the device causes communication between the driver and the device to become unreliable, resulting in host command timeouts. Disable this feature by default till a fix is available for the bug.
