Hi Conor,

Regarding that, I'm the one to blame since I was the one asking for the property
during internal review... The reason is that "spi-cs-inactive-delay-ns" is
already part of spi-peripheral-props.yaml which we already reference. So my
question would be why not using it?

These devices are a bit sensitive regarding these timings. Not in devices
supported by this driver but I already experienced having to set timings bigger
than defined in the datasheet for spi to be reliable. this was true on a RPI but
might not be in another platform.

Hence having the flexibility to change the time in an already supported property
does sound good to me. If not set, we still use the default value based on the
compatible. Now, if you tell me "let's just add this if we really get the need
for it", I get it but I also don't understand why not add it now...

Thanks!
