Are you sure it is not better to introduce this delay directly in the rpi spi driver ? Other than that i don't see any issue with it. On 16/02/2017 08:09, Peter Huewe wrote:

Testing the implementation with a Raspberry Pi 2 showed that under some circumstances its SPI master erroneously releases the CS line before the transfer is complete, i.e. before the end of the last clock. In this case the TPM ignores the transfer and misses for example the GO command. The driver is unable to detect this communication problem and will wait for a command response that is never going to arrive, timing out eventually. As a workaround, the small delay ensures that the CS line is held long enough, even with a faulty SPI master. Other SPI masters are not affected, except for a negligible performance penalty.
