Description
Due to a problem in E-Tile Hard IP for Ethernet and E-Tile CPRI PHY Intel® FPGA IP User Guide, when you follow the external hard reset sequence with AN/LT enabled, you will see i_tx_pll_locked remains low when i_csr_rst_n=1'b0.
Resolution
To work around this problem, release i_csr_rst_n after ninit_done without waiting for i_tx_pll_locked = 1'b1.
