? Isn't that the same thing? Were the timing registers the SOC reset
default or were they leftover from the bootloader?

I have no opinion on this for your boards, it depends entirely on what
flash chips you have to be compatible with, and how you feel about
your bootloader.

Also, when looking at the idea from Maxime it occured to me that your
DT binding might be better using ns or ps for the timings, instead of
tclk cycles? That way NAND/NOR datasheet values can be included in the
DT directly and are correct no matter what the tclk frequency is set to.
