Hi Krzysztof,

thanks for the review, replies are inline!

While the datasheet doesn't mention any time unit, the value is used to
calculate the f0_trace_ms variable (which is milliseconds) but the
result also depends on the awinic,f0-preset value, so it's not a raw
time value.

Unfortunately I couldn't figure the meaning for this and the two values
below.

The datasheet doesn't mention these registers at all and the downstream
driver doesn't do anything meaningful with them (other than setting them)
nor has any comment to indicate what they do.
In the datasheet there's only BSTDBG4 mentioned where bits [5:1] mean
PVDD output voltage setting so for these registers it could really be
anthing :(

Maybe someone with more knowledge about LRAs might be able to decipher
what tset and r_spare is at least? I unfortunately didn't manage.
