[RFC PATCH 00/15] Unify SPI delays into an `struct spi_delay`

[Alexandru Ardelean <alexandru.ardelean@analog.com>]

Initially, I started this patchset thinking: "we need a new delay for
something-something" (in case someone is curios, we need a CS-hold-time for
the first transfer, because the CS wakes a chip from sleep-mode).

Then I added the delay, and felt a bit dirty-inside about adding a new one
(just like that), and decided to look at maybe cleaning things up a bit,
and a few days later, I got here.

Full disclaimer: this patchset is not complete. It's an RFC.
It's based on top of Jonathan's `iio/togreg` branch which also includes the
ADIS driver library changes and also includes `cs_change_delay`.

I'll send a V2 patchset, which just the first 4 patches, since I feel that
those are a bit more complete.

I thought about just sending the first 4 patches on-their-own, but I
figured that the whole series (even if not complete) serves as a better
explanation about the whole "why?".

Hopefully, this can sort-of-explain things.
I'll reference this RFC on the next series.

Thanks
