That's one of the question I asked in my cover letter :-)

Indeed the at91 deglitch filter delay is not configurable and is statically
assigned to half a master clk cycle (if master clk = 133MHz -> 8 ns).
The debounce property argument is currently expressed in usecs.

This will result in always selecting the debounce filter (which is also
available on at91 SoCs) over the deglitch filter.

Could we add a flag in the deglitch argument to specify the delay unit
(nsecs or usecs) ?


Best Regards,

Boris
