Sounds like a good reason to me! 

You might want to check if you can boil down the DT timings from the
huge list to just an ONFI mode number..

I'd echo Rob's comments, the property needs to include the units
in the name, and I strongly recommend picoseconds for these
values.

Also, you might want to check that the ONFI names for these parameters
are used, not a vendor specific name to try and avoid confusion.
