Subject: Re: [PATCH v4] Bluetooth: Add ncmd=0 recovery handling

Hi Manish,

> During command status or command complete event, the controller may set
> ncmd=0 indicating that it is not accepting any more commands. In such a
> case, host holds off sending any more commands to the controller. If the
> controller doesn't recover from such condition, host will wait forever,
> until the user decides that the Bluetooth is broken and may power cycles
> the Bluetooth.

> This patch triggers the hardware error to reset the controller and
> driver when it gets into such state as there is no other wat out.
