-> duration?

-> duration?

I am pretty much sure there must be some duration between the actions
above *. See for instance the tw and (tsu + th) timing requirements in
the next edge-triggered flip-flops:
https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/sn74lv74a.pdf?ts=1663163389954&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.google.com%252F

The durations are normally small (ns or a bit smaller) but still need
to be added anyway.

Note since the durations are device-specific an additional DT-property array
with durations should be added too.

* already faced weird problems in this regard.
