[PATCH v2] spi: dts: sun4i: Add support for inter-word wait cycles using the SPI Wait Clock Register

Adds support and binding documentation for a new slave device property
"sun4i,spi-word-wait-ns" that allows to set a hardware based delay
between the transmission of words using the SPI Wait Clock Register.
The SPI hardware needs 3 clock cycles to set up the delay, which makes
the minimum non-zero wait time 4 clock cycles.

Changes from v1:
* renamed the property for more clarity
* wait time is set in nanoseconds instead of number of clock cycles
* transparently handle the 3 setup clock cycles
There is one review comment that I didn't address: Rob Herring suggested
that this should be in the core-binding rather than in sun4i. I checked
many of the hardware manuals of other SPI drivers and it looks to me like
this hardware based inter-word delay is a feature that not many SPI
controllers offer. And the SPI core currently has no way to control an
inter-word delay, only inter-message. So I would like to propose this again
as a sun4i binding, as it targets a sun4i (or sunxi?) specific hardware
feature.
