---Problem Description---
Normally nx-compress and nx-842-powernv modules are loaded when selects 842-nx compressor if not loaded and execute forever during system execution. So we will not see this bug in normal case.

But we are seeing NX CRB request timeout when uninstall these modules and load them or select 842-nx compressor.

---uname output---
18.04

Machine Type = P9 system

---Steps to Reproduce---
- Install nx-compress and nx-842-powernv modules
- Initiate NX request
- Uninstall these modules
- Initiate NX request again and we get CRB timeout with error -110

Patches are included in 4.19-rc1

We need second commit (656ecc16e8fc2ab44b3d70e3fcc197a7020d0ca) to fix this actual issue. But no use of having the first commit without second one. The first one just exports opal_check_token symbol which is used in the second commit.
