Could you suggest a good way to use WS0, so we can follow SBSA spec?

To avoid the timeout/2 problem, WS0 calls panic, which is the "real" timeout/reset. WS1 is then a "backup" that is ignored by the driver. That is, the driver doesn't do anything with WS1 and it doesn't tell the kernel about WS1.

I know you don't like the idea of WS1 as a backup timeout, but this is one way to solve the problem.
