+                314047e and b5c5214 made flasher block until the
+                resin-device-register
+
+                service exits and made resin-device-register give up after 6 seconds
+
+                not to block infinitely when no network is available. This effectively
+
+                means that if the device fails to register within first 6 seconds,
+
+                it will never retry, flasher will not report status to the dashboard
+
+                and the device will only register on first boot.
+
+
+                This patch changes the logic back to resin-device-register trying
+
+                in the background in an infinite loop and moves the "give the device
+
+                a chance to register" delay to flasher itself. It also extends
+
+                the wait to openvpn as flasher already does that and wants VPN to run
+
+                to be debuggable - in case flashing fails, it would be possible
+
+                to SSH in via the VPN and look at the logs remotely.
