The timeout was more for PLL like the one use for USB. I didn't want to
block only for USB PLL failure (which is kind of hypothetical, I admit).
Anyway, I understand your arguments and taking into account the
extensive tests that you've run, I agree with your approach. I'm adding
my Ack to the v2.

Thanks for having take the time to describe your debugging session: it's
valuable information for everybody.
