Subject: [PATCH 00/10] spi: finalize 'delay_usecs' removal/transition

A while back I started the introduction of the 'spi_delay' data type:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-spi/[email protected]/

Users of the 'delay_usecs' were removed from drivers.

Now it's time to remove the 'delay_usecs' from the SPI subsystem and use
only the 'delay' field.

This changeset adapts all SPI drivers to do without 'delay_usecs'.
Additionally, for greybus we need to adapt it to use the 'delay' in
nano-seconds and convert it to micro-seconds.

Subject: [PATCH 04/10] spi: spi-sh: replace 'delay_usecs' with 'delay.value' in pr_debug

The 'delay_usecs' field is going away. The replacement for it is the
'delay' field. So, we should print the 'delay.value' value instead.

Subject: [PATCH 06/10] staging: greybus: spilib: use 'spi_delay_to_ns' for getting xfer delay

The intent is the removal of the 'delay_usecs' field from the
spi_transfer struct, as there is a 'delay' field that does the same
thing.

The spi_delay_to_ns() can be used to get the transfer delay. It works by
using the 'delay_usecs' field first (if it is non-zero), and finally
uses the 'delay' field.

Since the 'delay_usecs' field is going away, this change makes use of the
spi_delay_to_ns() function. This also means dividing the return value of
the function by 1000, to convert it to microseconds.
To prevent any potential faults when converting to microseconds and since
the result of spi_delay_to_ns() is int, the delay is being computed in 32
bits and then clamped between 0 & U16_MAX.

Subject: [PATCH 05/10] spi: spi-tegra20-flash: don't check 'delay_usecs' field for spi transfer

The 'delay_usecs' field was handled for backwards compatibility in case
there were some users that still configured SPI delay transfers with
this field.

They should all be removed by now. So we can remove the 'delay_usecs'
handling in this driver.

The 'delay' field in the spi_transfer struct is meant to replace the
'delay_usecs' field. However some cleanup was required to remove the
uses of 'delay_usecs'. Now that it's been cleaned up, we can remove it
from the kernel tree.

All being well this means that it will be integrated into the linux-next
tree (usually sometime in the next 24 hours) and sent to Linus during
the next merge window (or sooner if it is a bug fix), however if
problems are discovered then the patch may be dropped or reverted.

You may get further e-mails resulting from automated or manual testing
and review of the tree, please engage with people reporting problems and
send followup patches addressing any issues that are reported if needed.

If any updates are required or you are submitting further changes they
should be sent as incremental updates against current git, existing
patches will not be replaced.

Please add any relevant lists and maintainers to the CCs when replying
to this mail.

Thanks,
Mark
