There is an interrupt which I've got a patch to use (it's in need of a
bit more testing so not yet published).  You can also poll the status
bits but on a lot of systems that works out as being too expensive due
to I/O costs.

Practically speaking it's fine; the FLL lock time is specified
performance characteristic of the device.  If we can't lock when we
expect to then the system is in trouble and it's not clear what we can
do about usefully.
