This all looks pretty clean, a few comments below but nothing too major:

Something else further up the stack should probably have runtime PM
enabled already - we should only be changing chip select as part of a
bigger operation.  If you use the core auto_runtime_pm feature this will
definitely happen.

It'd be nice to have a default case, the core should check for you but
it's nice to have defensive programming here.

Same thing with runtime PM here - the core can do this for you.

This can be called for one chip select while another is in progress so
it's not good to actually configure the hardware here unless the
configuration is in a chip select specific set of registers.  Instead
you should defer to when the transfer is being set up.

I suspect some of these clocks are essential and you should probably
return an error if you can't get them (especially if probe deferral
becomes a factor).

Are upstream DTs going to be missing the clock setup needed here?

Usually we will not set such a big value for interval,  but this is a
risk like you said. So we will check and limit the interval value to
make sure the formula will not overflow.

Per the datasheet, we do not need round up/down the speed. Since our
hardware can handle the clock calculated by the above formula if the
requested speed is in the normal region (less than ->max_speed_hz).

OK, so it's an inter word delay.  Some other controllers definitely have
the same feature.

Right, I don't think we added this yet (if we did I can't see it).  I'd
add a new field to spi_transfer for this, then other controllers with
the same support can implement it as well and drivers can start using
it too.

OK. So I will name the new filed as 'word_delay', is it OK for you?

There's another flaw here in that the transfer speed, t->speed_hz,
might not be exactly what is used, due to limitations of the clock
divider.  It would be better to find the actual SPI clock used, then
use that in the calculations.

Better would be to limit the inter word delay to whatever maximum value
your hardware supports, and then write code that can calculate that
without error.

That is not what I mean.  Let me explain differently.

An integer divider like this can not produce any frequency exactly. 
Consider if src_clk is 10 MHz.  A clk_div value of 0 produces a 5 MHz
SPI clock.  A clk_div value of 1 produces a 2.5 MHz SPI clock.

What if the transfer requests a SPI clock of 3 MHz?

Your math above will produce a SPI clock of 5 MHz, faster than
requested.  This is not the convention in Linux SPI masters.  You
should instead of have chosen a clk_div value of 1 to get a SPI clock
of 2.5 MHz, the closest clock possible that is not greater than the
requested value.

To do this, round up.

clk_div = DIV_ROUND_UP(ss->src_clk, speed_hz * 2) - 1;

Since some SPI controllers just want some interval values (neither µs
unit nor cycles unit ) set into hardware, and the hardware will
convert to the correct delay time automatically. So I did not force
'word_delay' unit as µs or cycle, and just let the slave devices
decide the unit which depends on the SPI hardware requirement.

Right, will use the real speed to calculate the transfer time.

Yes, will define the maximum word delay values to avoid overflow.

Thanks for your patient explanation. After talking with Lanqing who is
the author of the SPI driver, we think you are definitely correct and
will fix in next version according to your suggestion. Thanks a lot.

Do the h/w block actually get this clock or the driver needs it? In the 
latter case, it should not be in DT.

There are read and write delay properties you can use.

This needs to be defined units in DT, not decided by each controller.

The controller capabilities just affect what are valid values (or what 
the resolution is).

Do you mean we should introduce one standard property (maybe named as
'word_delay_unit') to define the word_delay unit?
If we really need to specify the unit of word_delay, I think we can
add comments for spi_tansfer  to specify the unit, which will be
better.
