The changelog probably also needs a note about this being a long process
and also at least touching on *why* it takes so long.

This reads strangely. "Success" to me really is different from "partial
success". Sure, partial success is also not an error, *but* this can be
explained better. How about:

* RDX contains 'next-to-initialize' address if
* TDH.SYS.TDMR.INT did not fully complete and should
* be retried.
