and one is removed at position 3 and then reinserted.
While the protocol handler is handling the insert of the
CI862 at position 3, the CI862 at position 1 is removed.
The log file shows a Watchdog BUS_ERROR at address 1.
This causes the driver to be closed. The CI862 is now
inserted at position 1. After the TRIO protocol handler has
handled the insert of the CI862 at position 3, a hot removal
message for the CI862 at position 1 is received followed by
a hot insert message for the CI862 at position 1 as follows:
