[PATCH v5 1/2] spi: dts: Add new device property to specifcy a wait time between word transmissions

[Marcus Weseloh]

Adds a new property "spi-word-wait-ns" to the spi-bus binding that allows
SPI slave devices to set a wait time between the transmission of words.

 Some SPI controllers and devices support Dual and Quad SPI transfer mode.
 It allows data in the SPI system to be transferred in 2 wires(DUAL) or 4 wires(QUAD).
