The change to report the error was added recently but I don't see how reporting errors could cause your problem. I suspect the firmware on the controller is locking up. Code in -CURRENT will perform a register dump on command timeout, which is the usual indicator of a lockup. I'd go looking for the latest firmware for your controller. -- 10 40 80 C0 00 FF FF FF FF C0 00 00 00 00 10 AA AA 03 00 00 00 08 00
