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,
