Certain errors can cause the device to be wedged and may
require a vendor specific recovery method to restore normal
operation.
Add a recovery method 'WEDGED=vendor-specific' for such errors. Vendors
must provide additional recovery documentation if this method
is used.
v2: fix documentation (Raag)
