Fixes & Enhancements
Fixes:
1. For PCI Information such as PCI Vendor ID other than BDF, FW also keeps their value. So, fixed to respond the value directly from FW instead of getting them from HW.
2. Instead of clearing the Abort flag at the beginning of the response data retransfer processing task, modify it to clear the Abort flag when data transfer after retransfer becomes possible.
3. Fix the bug that write index of SMBus ring buffer was out of sync.
4. Max payload size is immediately reflected in the internal register when the value is changed.
5. Wait for transition from Recovery when VDM packet forwarding is completed.
6. Fixed to resume Write process after NAND Timeout recovery process.
7. Set OACS bit10 to 1 to remove support of Lockdown on the in-band interface.
Enhancements:
