That's good. The problem I see is that we have to specify the max
frequency in the controller/bus node, and also in the child/slave node.
It should only need to be specified in the slave node, so making the
cur_speed_hz equal the max_speed_hz is problematic. The current speed of
the master should be determined by calling clk_get_rate().

Thanks. Just wanted to make sure we don't forget what the magic number
means.

Ok.

Alright. I'm not certain how the incoming buffer looks when clients
request certain modes. Have you tested out non-byte aligned word size
transfers?

Do you mean spi-rx-delay-us and spi-tx-delay-us properties? Those are
documented but don't seem to be used. There's also the delay_usecs part
of the spi_transfer structure, which may be what you're talking about.
