timing loop warning when synthesis

[hhhsiang]

Is there an existing CVA6 bug for this?

• I have searched the existing bug issues

Bug Description

When I synthesize cva6 with WB cache, there is timing loop warning occurred in cache system. It happened in tag_cmp and miss_hander. I think it is a significant warning. Is it normal or acceptable?

It seems to relate to #1761, but the problem is still exist.

The following is the timing loop path：

Startpoint: gen_cache_wb_i_cache_subsystem/i_nbdcache/i_tag_cmp/u7/O (internal pin)
Endpoint: gen_cache_wb_i_cache_subsystem/i_nbdcache/i_tag_cmp/u7/O (internal pin)
Path Group: (none)
Path Type: max
