When the RX elastic buffer is bypassed, data received from the PMA might be distorted
due to phase differences as it passes to the PCS. This makes it difficult to determine
whether or not bad data is received because the CDR is not locked, or the CDR is locked
and the phase alignment has not yet been attempted. To work around this, RX phase
alignment must be repeated multiple times and the output data evaluated after each
attempt. Good data is received if the phase is aligned while the RX CDR is locked. This
process must be repeated until valid data is received at the fabric interface.

alignment. Any number of clock cycles can be used for the CDR lock time, but using a
larger number decreases the number of cycles through the states.
