Hi Mark,

Thank you for your comment.

So I understand you mean that these properties should be defined like
spi-peripheral-props.yaml for the devices.

If yes, I'll drop these properties once and define our vendor-specific
"peripheral-props" in the next series.

This seems to be a feature added for the special devices,
so this should be device matter.

Yes, but the controller also supports dummy cycles, and can send
extra bytes before the dummy cycles.

I see. This feature is complicated to use, so I'll not add it here.

Thank you,
