Description

We need to decide what needs to happen here, as ignition doesn't currently toggle the hotswap enable signal. We have evidence to suggest that toggling the hot swap too quickly will immediately fault the hotswap, which would be what we're trying to clear here so we need to figure out what the correct behavior is here or how we'd recover this case in the field.

Research direction

Start by tracing the ignition path and the hotswap enable signal, focusing on how recovery is expected to clear a hotswap fault. Investigate the evidence that toggling too quickly faults the hotswap and determine the correct field-recovery behavior. Done means the expected behavior and recovery sequence are decided and the design can implement them.
