While this binding seems mostly okay to me, this is the 2nd memory controller binding I've looked at in the last day [1]. There are probably some others already as well. This makes me think we need a generic binding here. At least the node structure and how we define chip selects should be common. While I like timing information in time units over magic register values in the Tegra binding, the reality is converting timing info to register values is generally very hard to get both correct and optimal. In the end, you probably need to hand tweak the register settings anyway. So I'm hesitant to say it must be done 1 way here.
