But the below values are not matching with sdr mode 5 timings.
The value at index 3, represents tWP_min and as per SDR mode5 timings this value is 1 (expressed in clock cycles).
And also value at index 1 represents tWC_min and as per SDR mode5 timings this value is 2.
I will also cross check the setup_data_interface() hook.

Miqual, this version of driver is rebased on top of 4.19, I will send next version on top of 4.20

Thanks,
