Since some SPI controllers just want some interval values (neither Âs
unit nor cycles unit ) set into hardware, and the hardware will
convert to the correct delay time automatically. So I did not force
'word_delay' unit as Âs or cycle, and just let the slave devices
decide the unit which depends on the SPI hardware requirement.
