Thanks. There are few implications to consider before making this prop a
u32, and I'd like to check them with you.

struct spi_delay will have to be updated to have a u32 value, now it's a
u16. This means that we'll have to update spi_delay_to_ns() to either
return a s64 or to add a u64 *delay parameter to the function so that we
can still handle the conversions from usecs and the error codes in the
SPI_DELAY_UNIT_SCK case. Then all its callers have to be updated to
consider the u64 delay.

I don't know what to say, I'm in between. 65us delays are improbable,
but I'm fine to update this as well. Let me know your preference.

Thanks,
