Agree. But even if the timings are in nanoseconds there are rounding
errors, and there are still chances that L3 frequency change will
break NAND
So it comes down to what provides better tolerance, the explicit NAND
timings in nanosecs or (rounded) timings in ticks derived from
bootloader settings...

I don't quite understand where exactly this warning should go. I
haven't found any treatment of L3 frequency changes in gpmc related
code neither in linux-omap nor in linux-omap-pm...
