Should be this way for the sake of readability, fix globally:

	struct spi_transfer assert_cs_then_reset_delay = {
		.cs_change	= 1,
		.delay_usecs	= ICE40_SPI_FPGAMGR_RESET_DELAY
	};

Also I believe this could be const.

Don't we have some less hacky way of toggling the nCS ? Is this even nCS
or is this some control pin of the FPGA ? Maybe it should be treated
like a regular GPIO instead ?

The comma is not needed.

Do you have some explanation for this limitation ?
