I have no real problem in providing debug like this, although this is probably
dev_info() rather than dev_warn(). Also I'd suggest the debug message should be
something like the following if we were to add anything here:

	dev_info(component->dev, "Waiting for SRM lock\n");

Timings can be ascertained from the kernel log (assuming timestamping is on) so
I don't think we need to explicitly state the delay information.
