equivalent to hardware reset, in the case of an asynchronous loss of signal some software settings may be lost
without legacy software knowledge. In order to avoid losing important software settings without legacy driver
knowledge, the software settings preservation ensures that the value of important software settings is maintained
across a COMRESET. Software settings preservation may be enabled or disabled using SET FEATURES with a
subcommand code of 06h. If a device supports software settings preservation, the feature shall be enabled by
default.
