Yes, while on FLR read into memory will return either 0/F.

This happens at very late with no recovery possible and hope is module  
reload works.

I think it should be error. CI will still complain even on warning.

Does it help ? If helps then we can go ahead with increased timeout.

Possible. In that case we should wait for firmware fix ?
