Is this referring to "Locked mode, acquiring holdover: This is a
temporary mode, when coming from free-run, to acquire holdover memory."
?

It seems ice isn't using it, so maybe drop it? Can be added later in
case we have a driver that can report it

There is also "Locked mode, holdover acquired: This is a steady state
mode, entered when holdover memory is acquired." But I assume that's
"IF_EEC_STATE_LOCKED"
