You might create an SPI message from multiple transfers, where
the first has no data (length zero) but specifies a delay.  If
the SPI controller's driver is implemented correctly, or if it
uses the SPI subsystem's common logic, this should result in the
desired pause between CS assertion and data transfer.

If it doesn't work out for you (when the driver cuts corners,
violates the API semantics, or tries to outsmart you), you may
want to fix that and provide patches. :)
