can we still get "spi: Use a 32-bit DT property for 
spi-cs-setup-delay-ns" into 6.2?

If not I can send a single line patch which switches 
of_property_read_u16() to of_property_read_u32() to avoid defining 
"spi-cs-setup-delay-ns" to u16 as stable devicetree ABI.

sorry this comes so late before 6.2, we missed to track the patches.

Thanks,
Janne
