This code path later calls ad4000_prepare_3wire_mode_message() which sets:

	xfers[0].cs_change_delay.value = st->time_spec->t_conv_ns;

Which contradicts/overrides this.

I'm still not sold on this. We know it has no effect with AXI SPI Engine and
it is writing over something that usually comes from DT. It is misleading.

And the non-offload case already does:

	xfers[0].cs_change_delay.value = st->time_spec->t_conv_ns;

which actually does work with the AXI SPI Engine. So why not be consistent and
do it the same way for the offload case?

It also seems safe to omit this altogether in the offload case and assume that
the max sample rate will also ensure that the miniumum time for CS deasserted
is respected.
