That is fine.

For some reason the pnp code detects that a card responds to the LFSR reset,
but when it really looks for the card, nothing responds. It is probably a
matter of timing again. If you compile the code with debugging turned on
you might find which timing constant needs to be adjusted. The code right
now follows the spec, but it appears that some cards don't.
