Restarting the driver as a response to timed out SendData callbacks is problematic. It seems that on older controllers, unresponsive nodes can also cause this, so restarting will just end up in a loop due to the nodes being pinged on startup.
Instead, we now treat a missing SendData callback different from a missing controller ACK. In the former case, we now soft-reset once and if this doesn't help, mark the node as dead like we used to before v12.
