Description
Current shim makes use of the forever wait to get the response from firmware which means it assumes firmware will always correctly get the notification of what he wants, like this:
/* Wait for the response */ while (!request_done) http->Poll(http);
If firmware is not working well, system might hang forever.
Goals
Try to verify whether this is a bug for shim http module. Try to fix it and submit codes to upstream if it is a real bug.
