meh not a fan of tihs, because it implies there is something to be done by the user here.
but either it works, then the warning is just a documentation strange hardware behavior,
or it does not work, which the user cannot fix himself anyway (if it's because
the reset does not work)

just having the warning in the task log is IMHO good enough
