There are specified more timeouts related to Warm reset and PERST#
signal. Just they are not in Base spec, but in CEM spec. See previous
Amey's email where are described some timeouts and also links in my
first email where I put other timeouts defined in specs relevant for
PERST# signal and therefore also for Warm Reset.
