The DSPI controller has configurable timing for (a) tCSC: the interval between the assertion of the chip select and the first clock edge (b) tASC: the interval between the last clock edge and the deassertion of the chip select What is a bit surprising, but is documented in the figure "Example of continuous transfer (CPHA=1, CONT=1)" in the datasheet, is that when the chip select stays asserted between multiple TX FIFO writes, the tCSC and tASC times still apply. With CONT=1, chip select remains asserted, but SCK takes a break and goes to the idle state for tASC + tCSC ns. In other words, the default values (of 0 and 0 ns) result in SCK glitches where the SCK transition to the idle state, as well as the SCK transition from the idle state, will have no delay in between, and it may appear that a SCK cycle has simply gone missing. The resulting timing violation might cause data corruption in many peripherals, as their chip select is asserted. The driver has device tree bindings for tCSC ("fsl,spi-cs-sck-delay") and tASC ("fsl,spi-sck-cs-delay"), but these are only specified to apply when the chip select toggles in the first place, and this timing characteristic depends on each peripheral. Many peripherals do not have explicit timing requirements, so many device trees do not have these properties present at all. Nonetheless, the lack of SCK glitches is a common sense requirement, and since the SCK stays in the idle state during transfers for tCSC+tASC ns, and that in itself should look like half a cycle, then let's ensure that tCSC and tASC are at least a quarter of a SCK period, such that their sum is at least half of one.
