Ok, so this is basically an override for the GFLADJ_30MHZ field of the
gfladj register when there was a problem at integration time.

It takes a value? The description above makes it sound like a boolean
property.

I'd expect a description more like:

- snps,fladj-override: Value for GFLADJ_30MHZ when the fladj_30mhz_reg
  signal is invalid or incorrect.

Which makes it clear what the value is and when it should be set.

Thanks,
Mark.
