oooohhhhhhhh
now i see;

well, my fault here;
i was basing my patchset on top of branch iio/togreg from Jonathan's
tree for the IMU:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jic23/iio.git/log/?h=togreg
[ typically that's the base branch for new IIO drivers ]

that one is a bit behind, and does not contain the cs_change_delay
stuff you mentioned;
also, i will admit that sometimes, some review comments are not
completely obvious to me;
i should have checked the SPI tree before opening my mouth, but this
will [hopefully] serve me as a learning experience when sending
multi-subsystem patches
when sending to a single subsystem, it's clear; when sending to 2, i
get a bit lost

i do feel a bit bad for the noise i caused, but it's not the worst
thing i did today

anyway: disregard this, and i will sync with Jonathan about how to
proceed with this patch just for IIO;

thanks for your time and sorry for the noise
Alex
