Yes, fixed and delay. Not a huge deal.

Also a module parameter makes it hard to specify different settings for
different instances of the device/flash. IE, there can be multiple
flash controllers and each of them can have multiple chip selects.

The DT is the only sane way for that.

Right though the gate delay is rather IP block specific but that's
not a huge issue.

Cheers,
Ben.
