Ok, i will add a polling_rate_us parameter to poll_status() callback,
even if in STM32 driver case we will not use it, i agree it should be useful 
depending of driver's implementation.

Regarding the addition of an initial_delay_us. We got two solution:
  - use the same polling rate already used by read_poll_timeout() and 
    set read_poll_timeout()'s sleep_before_read parameter to true (in our case 20 us
    will be used as initial delay and as polling rate).

  - add an udelay(initial_delay_us) or even better usleep_range(initial_delay_us,
    initial_delay_us + delta) before calling read_poll_timeout().

I imagine you prefer the second solution ?

By adding polling_rate_us and initial_delay_us parameters to 
spi_mem_poll_status(), it implies to update all spinand_wait() calls for 
different operations (reset, read page, write page, erase) with respective  
initial_delay_us/polling_rate_us values for spi_mem_poll_status()'s parameters.

Can you provide adequate initial_delay_us and polling rate_us for each operation type ?.

Thanks
