[PATCH V2 9/9] spi: bcm2835aux: make the polling duration limits configurable

kernel
2019-03-24T17:53:05Z

Under some circumstances the default 30 us polling limit is not optimal
and may lead to long delays because we are waiting on an interrupt.
with this patch we have the possibility to influence this policy.

So make this limit (in us) configurable via a module parameters
(but also modifyable via /sys/modules/...)

Signed-off-by: Martin Sperl <kernel@martin.sperl.org>

V1 -> V2: remove the dependency on a different patchset focused on
making cs_change delay configurable
