Something got corrupted?

Why are these being done as nVidia specific properties rather than
generic ones and why are these being configured in DT rather than by the
client driver?  If the devices have particular timing requirements for
chip select presumably that's going to apply no matter what controller
or system they're used with so it seems best to configure this in the
client driver and have an API that any controller can implement.
