I am sure you shouldn't assume what the particular architecture
provide and what it doesn't. When it comes to the GPIOs the switching
timings can have a critical value in a lot of applications (like i2c
bitbang, or real-time systems). There is no point in waiting for
micro seconds in the fast-path like this when there is only a few
nano seconds delay required.
I couldn't find any generic ready-to-use DT-property for this case.
So IMO instead the next properties would work:
1. "setup-duration-ns" - data input timing after which the clock input
can be asserted (Tsu in the hw-manual above).
2. "clock-duration-ns" - clock input timing for which the CLK signal
must be kept asserted so the device would perceive the input
states, the outputs would be updated and the clock signal could be
driven back to low (Tw including Th in the hw-manual above).
@Rob, @Linus, any suggestion regarding the properties and their naming?
