 -- Purpose: Define that other side must be aligned within some delay after this side got aligned.

---   We assume the RX connected to our TX will be channel aligned within g_align_dly_cnt cycles
+--   We assume the RX connected to our TX will be channel aligned within c_align_dly_cnt cycles
 --   after 'our own' RX has asserted channelaligned. This is important because txc_tx_channelaligned_dly
