I think Xiangsheng means this:
This sample delay isn't achieved using a fixed clock signal. It's
probably some kind of delay circuit whose delay value varies
due to its manufacturing process. Every single chip made got
different delay units, so it's impossible to specify a single unit
for one chip model.

If that's true, shouldn't this be a value calibrated on-the-fly
on probe instead? A single device-tree is supposed to be
applied to all devices of the same model, so a value that
varies on a device-by-device basis probably shouldn't
be a device-tree property.
