+Description:
+ The MIC drivers detect and inform user space about card crashes
+ via a heartbeat mechanism (see the description of
+ shutdown_status above). User space can turn off this
+ notification by setting heartbeat_enable to 0 and enable it by
+ setting this entry to 1. If this notification is disabled it is
+ the responsibility of user space to detect card crashes via
+ alternative means such as a network ping. This setting is
+ enabled by default.
