If you were re-designing schema, then this should be dropped. No generic
compatibles which even the author does not understand what it is.

But if you re-use existing binding, then it is a proof that previous
commit did something odd.

Drop redundant parts: "The 1st cell" and "micro seconds" and instead
describe something useful. You have here nine words out of which 7 are
redundant or not describing actual property and only two say something.
What is "reset pre-delay"? Explain this.

Didn't you receive feedback here already?
