I'm confused... isn't that exactly what this patch does?  It adds a 
field word_delay to spi_device in the same manner as max_speed_hz.

I also added the ability to set it via DT, which I can break out into a 
separate patch if that's an issue.  Or is the problem that it's set via 
DT, at all?  Documentation/devicetree/bindings/spi-bus.txt documents 10 
other slave-node properties related to transfer characteristics; 
word_delay is just another such characteristic.

But again, I'm having trouble parsing your response  Is the patch wrong, 
should be broken up, or you just misunderstood it?

Thanks,
