Let me add some more context...

In this particular case, the FRU ID that I was trying to access was
correct.

Platform supports PCIe hotplug. The FRU is embedded into the HW that
is being removed. That's what I mean by non-existent.

When the device is ejected and a FRU command is executed, BMC times out
reaching to the FRU on the device.

When the device is inserted, everything works as expected.
