And user will see no notification other than "Installing 50%" for 25 minutes? And will most likely not be able to do anything that'd involve talking to the FW, like setting port info/speed? Is it possible for the FW to inform that it's updating the CPLD? Can you release the dev_cmd_lock periodically to allow other commands to be executed while waiting?
