I was undecided about using the common unit, second, as it may affect the comprehensibility of the code. Of course, I can use second as the common unit if you think it's more appropriate.

I referenced property-units.yaml for common units.

As I understood hours and minutes are not common units in Linux for time so I cannot use them as suffixes. Therefore, I thought I had to use "seconds" instead of "hours" or "minutes". I am totally fine if I can use " adi,fast-charge-timer-hours" and "adi,topoff-timer-minutes".
