Thanks for your feedback, I've taken a look at this code and I will remove this hunk.
There is no need to limit to only 1 iteration.

Setting TIMELINE_SEQNO_BYTES to 128 (so we wrap the hwsp every 32 times, or every 16
test loops because we start at a clear cacheline) shows the code works as intended.
