The original description should use "error-stopped state recovery" term
instead of simple "error recovery".
And standard based handling of error-stopped states was added. I
mentioned tsi57x in that context because it uses proprietary mechanism
to generate "magic" control symbol to clear error-stopped states. Other
switches do not have similar function and have to rely on standard
implementation.
