We can, but would it be feasible practically ?, gpmc timings to update in
DT for a such a peripheral (requiring retime) can be found out only by
manual calculation similar to the way done in retime function (based on
peripheral's timings and boot time gpmc clock period), correct ?, Also
wouldn't this make it necessary to know gpmc clock period at boot time
for properly updating gpmc timing entry in DT ?

And in this case, we are going to register retime function, so instead of
relying on DT to provide gpmc timings for such a peripheral, won't it
be better to make use of retime that is already registered ?
