Well, how about a compromise?  I like the ability to alter the host
settle time; however, I think turning these over to the driver to sort
out how it pleases gives the LLD more control in this situation,
certainly for the HOST reset.

I'm less sure that a bus reset timeout belongs in the LLD, but I suppose
that could be pulled into the SPI transport class eventually.

So, what about Alan's approach using a single flag to give the LLD
control, but give it control for both the host and bus resets?
