Won't work; if spi->max_speed_hz is zero, spi_async() and
friends will refuse to queue any messages.

I'm not averse to a solution that lets some boards use a
slowed-down bitbang loop.  But it would be a lot easier
if you kept the default the way it is, and just added
that slowdown as an option for the existing customization
case (currently oriented towards speedup, not slowdown).
