Hi Laurent,

Thank you for your feedback.

I did wonder what to do here for the timeout limit.  Having 10x frame
duration is going to
be very long for imx477 that has a 200s frame length.  I think given this
is only a log message
I'm inclined to leave it short to catch the obvious failure case. If I get
complaints of too many
false positives we can bump this up a bit :-)

I'll fix up all the suggested changes and post a new revision shortly.

Naush
