Thanks for the suggestion.
The phase setting is a hardware tap index (0–7) selecting a delay line
position. The datasheet mentions “about 40 ps” per step, but this is not
a calibrated or guaranteed value and may vary with PVT.
Because of that, I’d prefer to keep the property as an index and
document the approximate delay in the description:
Clock lane sampling phase selection (hardware tap index 0–7). Each step
corresponds to an approximately 40 ps delay as described in the hardware
specification.
This matches the hardware model more closely. Happy to adjust if needed.
