nit: instead of doing MAX_ITERATION/max_iterations, can we simplify this
to the following?

static u64 now(void)
{
	clock_gettime(...);
	return ts.tv_sec * NSEC_PER_SEC + ts.tv_nsec;
}

/* wait 5 seconds + cover launch time */
deadline = now() + 5 * NSEC_PER_SEC + launch_time_delta_to_hw_rx_timestamp;
while (true) {
	if (complete_tx())
		break;
	if (now() >= deadline)
		break;
	usleep(10);
}

It is a bit more readable than converting time to wait to the
iterations..
