So we'll busy wait for up to 100ms - that seems like an awfully long
time. Perhaps fall back to msleep() if the delay is non-trivial (or
just reduce the timeout)? If there are large enough FIFOs dead
reckoning a sleep for the expected transfer time might be helpful but it
seems like there's no meaningful FIFO.

This is too limited to use with most SPI clients, they'll want to be
able to transmit more than one word (and the fact that only 16 bit words
are supported is also an issue, though that's easy enough to handle for
a bitbanging driver - I'd really strongly suggest supporting 8 bits per
word as well). Clients are pretty much going to need to use GPIO based
chip select, you should make sure that's supported and covered in the
binding.

Omit this since it's empty.
