From: Soumen Karmakar <redacted> According to FW documentation, the most time-consuming part of continuous FW activity is Shadow RAM (SR) dump which takes up to 3.2 seconds. For X550 devices, the module-update FW command can take over 4.5 s. Increase the max Software/Firmware (SW/FW) semaphore wait time from the default 200 ms to 5 s for X550 to avoid spurious semaphore timeout failures during FW update operations.
