There's a few issues that were raised on the previous review cycle that
still need to be addressed but they should be fixable in incremental
patches (and easier to review that way):

These loops should really have some sort of time limit on them,
otherwise they'll lock hard if the expected events don't happen.  Given
that in slave mode they're synchronising with an externally generated
clock this is something that might happen in practice and should produce
better diagnostics.

I'd really expect to see the other possible triggers handled, even if
the appropriate action is to silently ignore them, rather than having
them generate an error message.
