A way to tune boot-loop mechanism

The bootloop detection is there to solve inoperatable devices due to recursive rules or misconfiguration of gpio especially on devices with 6 wire flash connection. The only solution was a serial re-reflash after complete settings erase.

Disabling this feature would mean I have to tell a user the consequeces of disabling. They say it never happens to them. When it does the code is to blame. This feature is to safeguard them.

I understand your problem regarding flaky AC availability..

I'll investigate this solution reluctant.

I do understand that, and the default stays the same. It just a better way to **tune** (not just disable) this mechanism instead of “the developers suggested to mask lines xxxx up to yyyy in file zzzz” I saw that I’m not the only one with this issue, there are many permutations of the same issue.

Thx for the idea. As always I give it my own twist and will release soon.
