Your controller is very simple and just queues whatever command you
ask, precisely when you ask it to do so. But the NAND bus is a bit more
complex and there are minimum delays between certain instructions. This
delay is meant to respect that. Sometimes it will be 0, and sometimes
not. It depends what NAND op you do. You can check the value of these
delays in the core.

Thanks,
