Not its not... See the old binding description please:

-- cdns,read-delay : Delay for read capture logic, in clock cycles

There is no mention of 4us. Range is 0x0 - 0xF

Again see the description in old binding file:

 cdns,tshsl-ns : Delay in nanoseconds for the length that the master
                  mode chip select outputs are de-asserted between
	  	transactions.

Need not be 50ns or its multiple

same here

Same here... Need not be 4ns...

Same here...

Above four values ( cdns,*-ns) come directly from the flash datasheets.

These values are converted appropriate number of cycles depending upon
the QSPI ref_clk frequency. So, there is no easy way to express the
constraint (or range) in DT schema. I would recommend to just stick with
the description that is there in the old binding file without any
modifications.
