Yes, I agree it's quite device-specific, though, I guess, more than a
single device can benefit from that. I'm playing with it now to see if
I can indeed move it to a more device-specific driver from generic spi.

It is indeed a bounce and a rather long delay to let the device actually
wake from a long sleep, go through internal startup, test, etc.
