For some SPI devices that support speed_hz > 1MHz the default 10 us delay
when cs_change = 1 is typically way to long and may result in poor spi bus
utilization.
This patch makes it possible to control the delay at micro or nano second
resolution on a per spi_transfer basis. It even allows an "as fast as
possible" mode with:
xfer.cs_change_delay_unit = SPI_DELAY_UNIT_NSECS;
xfer.cs_change_delay = 0;
The delay code is shared between delay_usecs and cs_change_delay for
consistency and reuse, so in the future this change_delay_unit could also
apply to delay_usec as well.
Note that on slower SOCs/CPU actually reaching ns deasserts on cs is not
realistic as the gpio overhead alone (without any delays added ) may
already leave cs deasserted for more than 1us - at least on a raspberry pi.
But at the very least this way we can keep it as short as possible.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
