Using uwe's patch, the pll lock timeout hasn't appeared during the
overtime test, usually, it will occur 4 or 5 times during overnight
test. The reason why I suspect jiffies update problem that is we
meet the similiar issue at other drivers which timeout is 2 jiffies,
but it is satisfied within 1ms.

I will do more test, if it is passed, I will send patch with uwe's suggestion.
Thanks.
