If time based scheduling is not supported by the controller, then the
property should not be present! The presence of a property like this
should mean that the feature is supported, using it is up to the
operating system.

That said, why is this a property that should be in DT? If support is
per controller is it not sufficient to use the compatible to determine
if this is supported?

Thanks,
Conor.
