Well...

+ csr |= SPI_BF(DLYBCT,
+ clamp_t(u8,
+ (as->spi_clk/1000000*spi->word_delay_us)>>5,
+ 1, 255));

... why not simplifying to:
+ 0, 255));
and remove the test altogether, after all?

Hmm... that seemed too easy! This started out as something else and looking at it now I think even the clamp_t() is unnecessary. The value is already 0-255 and the way SPI_BF works any overflow is already truncated... I'll rework this and resubmit once I get some feedback on the word_delay_us bits.

Thanks,
