Windows code, no. What's dubious about it?
It's supposed to avoid situations where the pll isn't working correctly.
It returns an error and avoids hanging situations. Which I've personally
witnessed. If you don't like safety, it can be removed.
In reality, similar testing should also be added to the same handler in
the 24108(?) module.
