    Oh, it was never my intention to say such blasphemy :)
    It meant to be just a debug option to help the users, specifically the
    ones debugging drivers, to try using a hammer to recover bad devices! To
    this issue that I mentioned as an example, the fix specifically goes in
    the FW of the adapter.

    Anyway, since you really dislike it, let's drop it, no big deal!
    Cheers,
