That's a good idea and much better than having to remember to subtract
3 cycles from the desired wait time!

But it would mean that this magic number becomes part of the driver
code. I have found no official documentation that mentions those
additional cycles. While I have checked many different transmission
speeds using both CDR1 and CDR2 divider configurations, there is still
the possibility that the behaviour changes with weird SPI module
configurations... And I've only tested it on A20 hardware. So it would
be great if somebody else with access to A10 hardware and an
oscilloscope could check if we have a consistent 3 cycle overhead.

Cheers,

   Marcus
