The heartbeat thread is active during soft-reset, and it tries to send messages to CPU-CP core. Within the soft-reset, in the time window in which the device is marked as disabled, any CPU-CP command is "silently" skipped and a success value it returned. However, in addition to the return value, the heartbeat function also checks the F/W result, but because no command is sent in this time window, the result variable won't hold the expected value and we will have a false heartbeat failure. To avoid it, modify the "silent" skip to be done only in hard-reset. The CPU-CP should be able to handle messages during soft-reset. In addition to the heartbeat problem, this should also solve other issues in other flows that send messages during soft-reset and use the F/W result as it w/o being aware to the reset.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
