How would the client device have any knowledge of how the controller
internal implementation works?  What even is a "wait state inserted by
TPM device"?  If this is something the client device is doing then it
should be something that is expressed through the generic SPI API by the
client device, if some controllers have some way of optimising this then
we can add support for that but presumably it's just something that's
generically supported by that device so we shouldn't need a DT property
for it on the device side either.
