I can add a locked version of the walkbus API. 
Then, I can minimize this code to a couple of lines. How does that sound?

Yep, I was waiting for your feedback before re-posting.

The CRS is for hot reset, warm reset and FLR reset. There is nothing we can do in SW
for warm reset. This patch is to address hot reset caused by SBR. 

I was hoping that Alex would help us for directions on the FLR reset later.
