Since this is a scratch register, the particular behavior of the bits
was documented in a separate OpenRM file - I finally found the
explanation after looking it up.
This appears to be a GFW boot progress counter, with 0xff meaninig that
boot is completed. I have added a (documented) specialization of this
register as well as a helper function to make this clear.

Yes, the timeout code was a bit weird. Actually as you pointed out, we
can also use the `wait_on` helper introduced later in this series.

Sure!
