 	 * fields with timing values to match the current frequency of the
 	 * ipg_clk. OTP writes will work at maximum bus frequencies as long
 	 * as the HW_OCOTP_TIMING parameters are set correctly.
+	 *
+	 * Note: there are minimum timings required to ensure an OTP fuse burns
+	 * correctly that are independent of the ipg_clk. Those values are not
+	 * formally documented anywhere however, working from the minimum
+	 * timings given in u-boot we can say:
+	 *
+	 * - Minimum STROBE_PROG time is 10 microseconds. Intuitively 10
+	 *   microseconds feels about right as representative of a minimum time
+	 *   to physically burn out a fuse.
+	 *
+	 * - Minimum STROBE_READ i.e. the time to wait post OTP fuse burn before
+	 *   performing another read is 37 nanoseconds
+	 *
+	 * - Minimum RELAX timing is 17 nanoseconds. This final RELAX minimum
+	 *   timing is not entirely clear the documentation says "This
+	 *   count value specifies the time to add to all default timing
+	 *   parameters other than the Tpgm and Trd. It is given in number
+	 *   of ipg_clk periods." where Tpgm and Trd refer to STROBE_PROG
+	 *   and STROBE_READ respectively. What the other timing parameters
+	 *   are though, is not specified. Experience shows a zero RELAX
+	 *   value will mess up a re-load of the shadow registers post OTP
+	 *   burn.
