Hi Chin-Ting,

I think we can split this up a bit:

I think this could be a patch on its own

Again, this could be a patch of its own

This line of development is impacted by my comment on an earlier patch 
in the series, so should be its own patch.

Why are we renaming this? It looks to cause a bit of noise in the diff.

Hmm.

I don't think just silently returning 0 here is the right thing to do.

What about -EINVAL, or printing a warning and using the old hard-coded 
value?

Have I missed something about a asymmetric clock timings? Otherwise the 
falling edge is 180 degrees away from the rising edge? I'm still not 
clear on why 90 degrees is used here.

Why are we throwing away information?

I prefer we drop this message

I think this is a very indirect way to communicate the problem. The 
only time we look at nr_taps is in a test that explicitly compensates 
for the non-uniform delay. I think we should just have a boolean struct 
member called 'non_uniform_delay' rather than 'nr_taps', as the number 
of taps isn't what's changing. But also see the discussion below about 
a potential aspeed,tap-delays property.

This needs to be documented (and binding documentation patches need to 
be the first patches in the series). Something further to consider is 
whether we separate the compatibles or add e.g. an aspeed,tap-delays 
property that specifies the specific delay of each logic element. This 
might take the place of e.g. the max-tap-delay property?
