What about the "default" timings that are currently hardcoded in the
driver, if no timings are specified in the DT? My patch currently does
the following:
- Use DT timings if provided
- Use NAND timings if provided
- Use "default" timing otherwise
Should we drop the "default" timing thing? If not, how does it fit in
your proposal? Indeed your proposal is simply: if no timings in DT, use
the NAND timings. But my patch does more than that.
Thanks,
Thomas
