Hi Srirangan,

Can you explain this part explicitly ? I find it inconsistent with the spec.
More details below,

This part will make 100 sec clamps to 20s if I understand correctly.

However the device is still legal to advertise 100s timeout according to the
spec. If the reset procedure takes longer than 20s, driver can read/write to
"Control2" register while device is still resetting, which is prohibited
by the spec, software should access only "Status2" until completion, error,
or expiration of the advertised timeout.

I wonder what's the reason here, if we really going to disagree with the spec,
though I think it's not a wise choice.

Best regards,
Richard Cheng.
