Pandas version checks

  • I have checked that this issue has not already been reported.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the latest version of pandas.

  • I have confirmed this bug exists on the main branch of pandas.

Reproducible Example

In [1]: from pandas.core.dtypes.cast import infer_dtype_from_scalar

In [2]: infer_dtype_from_scalar(pd.Timestamp('2020-01-01').as_unit('s'))
Out[2]: (dtype('<M8[ns]'), numpy.datetime64('2020-01-01T00:00:00.000000000'))

Issue Description

nanosecond resolution is inferred for second input

Expected Behavior

Out[2]: (dtype('<M8[s]'), numpy.datetime64('2020-01-01T00:00:00'))`
