If that's the case, then I'm wondering:

(a) why not make those particular delays be platform-specific,
   instead of affecting all platforms, and

(b) do they even need to affect all devices on that platform, or
   can they be isolated to the slave device and not be incurred
   on all devices on that bus?

Thanks,
