A while ago when discussing another controller it was pointed out
these values are all auto-probable directly from the NAND via a ONFI
defined GET FEATURE @0x01 query, and adding these timings to the DT
was NAK'd..

Basically you set the interface to the slowest ONFI timing mode, do
the GET FEATURE to the NAND chip and then increase the interface speed
to the highest mutually supported ONFI mode.

Is there some reason you need to encode this in the DT?
