This seems like even more of a per device thing - it's a very rare
requirement (I'm guessing for some SPI controller coprocessor) and
there's such a wide range of potential patterns that might be needed
by different devices.

This isn't a delay between messages, it's a delay before asserting
chip select which will happen every single time we do anything
regardless of if there was any activity immediately before or not.
