Too bad you need this. Oh well, you need to discuss property name with
the OF guys, or think out some other way to deliver the chip delay
value.

I did test this driver on MPC8555 and MPC8360 UPMs. They didn't need
these syncs.. quite suspicious syncs, I must say. Maybe you should
check TLB setup, for the UPM NAND it should be non-cacheable and
guarded, IIRC.
