Initially, I started this patchset thinking: "we need a new delay for something-something" (in case someone is curios, we needed a CS-hold-time when CS is asserted, because the CS wakes a chip from sleep-mode). Then I added the delay, and felt a bit dirty-inside about adding a new one (just like that), and decided to look at maybe cleaning things up a bit, and a few days/weeks later, I got here. It's based on top of Jonathan's `iio/togreg` branch which also includes the ADIS driver library changes for `cs_change_delay`. The current v4 tries to be a complete change as possible about converting all delays to the `struct delay` data-type; at least in the scope of the SPI subsystem. Many external users of the SPI subsystem use the `delay_usecs` field to specify delays for transfers; which is why this field is still kept temporarily for backwards compatibility until all other delays are switched to `delay`. Thanks Alex Changelog v3 -> v4: * re-unify all `spi_delay` changes into a single big series spanning SPI & IIO subsystems; patches are based on top of IIO, so patch `drivers/iio/imu/adis.c` does not apply on top of SPI/for-next tree Changelog v2 -> v3: * squash patches 3 & 4 into a single patch; otherwise the kernel is in broken state between those 2 patches Changelog v1 -> v2: * split away from the RFC patchset, which aims to be a broader explanation for this changeset; parts of v1 are not 100% defined yet, and may require some discussion and refinement.
