Hi Adam,

Thanks for the explanation. So the purpose of the code is providing some
timing tolerance for SRM to lock? If so, I would suggest adding warning message
for the lock fail so people have a clue if their design fails the CTS test. Hard to say
if Google further reduces the Cold latency again in the future.
