Sure, just add some constraint.

So we probably misunderstood each other... looking at the driver it also
explains the confusing. You encoded here register value which is pretty
often wrong approach.

This should be instead meaningful value for the user of the bindings, so
usually using one of property units:
https://github.com/devicetree-org/dt-schema/blob/main/dtschema/schemas/property-units.yaml

I think you could use here clock cycles or clock phase, but then it has
to be obvious it is that unit.

Krzysztof
