[PATCH 1/4] spi: Add parameter for clock to rx delay

[Eberhard Stoll <estl@gmx.net>]

From: Eberhard Stoll <eberhard.stoll@kontron.de>

For spi devices the master clock output defines the sampling point
for receive data input stream (rising or falling edge). The receive
data stream from the device is delayed in relation to the master
clock output.

For some devices this delay is larger than one half clock period,
which is normally the sampling point for receive data. In this case
receive data is sampled too early and the device fails to operate.
In consequence the spi clock has to be reduced to match the delay
characteristics and this reduces performance and is therefore not
recommended.

Some spi controllers implement a 'clock to receive data delay'
compensation which shifts the receive sampling point. So we need
a property to set this value for each spi device.

Add a parameter 'rx_sample_delay_ns' to enable setting the clock
to rx data delay for each spi device separately.

The 'clock to receive data delay' value is often referenced as tCLQV
in spi device data sheets.
