No, their values will be determined by the nand_base core, and we must
have something consistent for drivers to rely on. However, I don't
really have a hard preference on nanoseconds versus picoseconds. If we
see that many of the values reach low-digit nanosecons, or fractional
nanoseconds, it probably makes sense to have the higher resolution.

Is this a suggested addition, Lee? I agree with Boris that this looks
like a DDR mode, which should not be covered here.

Same here, is this a suggested new field? If you need it, then we can
follow up like Boris suggested, with a different method, since tR is not
part of the electrical parameters of the timing mode.
