Yes, milliseconds.   OK.

OK.

Generated code is the same, but the intent of the code is less clear 
when the explicit masking is removed.  Never the less, since this seems 
to be impeding progress, I will remove it.

I think it is correct.  The properties are optional, so it it perfectly 
fine for of_property_read_u32() to fail.  If it fails, we simply keep 
the current value.  I will add comments to document the intended logic.

There are no occurrences of "of_property_present" in my source tree.

OK.

It is defined.  See above.

The driver doesn't require OF.  By removing the #if (which I will do), 
the size of the module may be bloated in the non-OF case.  If anybody 
cares about this, they can add back the #if.

Best to keep it so that the non-OF case is correctly handled.
