Subject: [PATCH 2/5] drivers: spi: core: Add optional stall delay between cs_change transfers

Some devices like the ADIS16460 IMU require a stall period between
transfers, i.e. between when the CS is de-asserted and re-asserted. The
default value of 10us is not enough. This change makes the delay
configurable for when the next CS change goes active.

General principle seems fine to me, though naming may need some work.

cs_low_time or something more specific than stall perhaps?

I agree the naming could do some work.
It was one of the items [in this series] for which I was expecting a bit of a discussion.

Thanks

This looks like cs_change_delay.

As documented in SubmittingPatches please send patches to the
maintainers for the code you would like to change. The normal kernel
workflow is that people apply patches from their inboxes, if they aren't
copied they are likely to not see the patch at all and it is much more
difficult to apply patches.

Ack.
[Sorry for the late reply; I'm balancing other stuff as well and terrible at it]

I'll probably update my practice to also include maintainers via --cc to `git send-email`.
Up until now, I would send emails to lists [as much as possible] and try to not include people directly.
My assumption was that the list is enough.

I'm still adjusting to how things get done in the various Linux kernel subsystems/subgroups.
