The "Data Interface Transitions" chapter of the spec contains timings for flash clock setup in NV-DDR
and NV-DDR2 modes. The "time period" of those clocks is equal to tCK in NV-DDR and tRC in NV-DDR2.

The same chapter should have information about necessary steps to switch from NV-DDR to SDR,
which includes setting the flash clock to 100 MHz.


Just to make sure i'm not shooting myself in the foot: am I changing the right clock?
The documentation points out that we have to change flash_clk, which i thought was
nfc->controller_clk and set up by anand->clk, but it seems like it might actually be nfc->bus_clk.

In that case, does setting nfc->controller_clk to 100 MHz by default make sense?
There isn't a hard limit on what the system clock might be (beyond a specific SoC),
but there are timing requirements for the flash clock, and so setting a specific 
system clock frequency seems unnecessary for most devices.

Will include in the next iteration of the patch, thank you.
