Basically, this one looks fine, although I have two minor concerns below.

I don't know if there is any corner case when the above check
will always fail and so it will always wait a maximal delay time.
Are those registers that identical, or can there be differences?

Is there any justification for the CONFIG_SYS_HZ * 10?
I would be much more fine with this patch if there were any
(even just test based * 2) reason for that number.
