The previous fix in a8e6cc3f4 only addressed half of the problem, as
we could also get an invalid value for start, causing us to fail
in a weird way.
This was caught by the testcases.OpTestHMIHandling.HMI_TFMR_ERRORS
test in op-test-framework.
You'd get to this part of the test and get the erroneous lock
spinning warnings:
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:$PATH putscom -c 00000000 0x2b010a84 0003080000000000
0000080000000000
[ 790.140976993,4] WARNING: Lock has been spinning for 790275ms
[ 790.140976993,4] WARNING: Lock has been spinning for 790275ms
[ 790.140976918,4] WARNING: Lock has been spinning for 790275ms
This patch checks the validity of timebase before setting start,
and only checks the lock timeout if we got a valid start value.
