SpaceX has completed their mishap report, which states what they believe are the required corrective actions, actions which, it can likely be assumed, they have already completed. So all that is needed, from their standpoint, is for the FAA to accept their report, accept their corrective actions, accept the actions as done, and issue the launch license.

FAA could, however, decide against any of those things - that the report hasn't covered something, that other actions are required, that the actions haven't been properly done.

This is entirely in line with everything that both FAA and SpaceX have said.
