Subject: [PATCH v5 0/2] spi: support inter-word delays

Changed in v5:
* Rebased on linux-next
* Fixed up Atmel patch to simplify register setting

Changed in v4:
* Rename word_delay to word_delay_us and slot it in _beside_ the
  existing word_delay parameter in spi_transfer (see commit message for
  more info).
* Add code to __spi_validate to make sure transfer and device align with
  respect to the word_delay_us parameter

Changed in v3:
* Drop setting of inter-word delay via device tree

Changed in v2:
* Fix atmel-spi driver to not unconditionally set minimal delay if no
  delay is required (erroneous clamping)

This short series adds support for SPI inter-word delays and configures
the spi-atmel driver to honour the setting.

Some SPI slaves are so slow that they are unable to keep up even at the
SPI controller's lowest available clock frequency.  I have such a
configuration where an AVR-based SPI slave is unable to feed the SPI bus
fast enough even the SPI master runs at the lowest possible clock speed.
