Julien, Rob: thanks for your comments! Ok, I will make the following changes:

- remove "sun4i,spi-wdelay" from the sun4i binding and add the
property to the spi-bus.txt binding instead
- remove the comment about the additional 3 cycles from the documentation
- modfy the spi-sun4i driver to take care of the minimum 3 cycle period

Does that sound right?

And maybe I could also use a more descriptive name for the property,
maybe "spi-word-wait-cycles"?

Cheers,

   Marcus
