Another data point... the following patch appears sufficient to restore
working behaviour.

As you reported that the PLL lock failure message is not printed, the failure 
can only come from either the extra delay introduced by the above loop, or 
from reading the HDMI_PHY_STAT0 register.

How many iterations of the for loop execute before the condition becomes true 
?

Judging from the log posted elsethread (where I added extra printouts),
it seems to consistently become true on the second iteration.

I will try to rule out read side effects by replacing the polling loop
with an unconditional delay.

You're reading my mind :-)
