This controller only works with flash devices and is different than this one:?

The above binding already uses "is-decoded-cs". Let's not invent something new.

All sorts of properties with fifo in them... Nothing is particularly
dominate, so this is fine.

Aren't these properties probeable at all? We really should have
standard bindings for this. It seems spi NOR flash devices have gone
somewhat undocumented, but it is not hard to find examples already in
use.

Is it master reference clocks or nanoseconds for the units?
