SPI: NRF52DK/NRF52832 fails spi_controller_peripheral tests

[matt-wood-ct]

Describe the bug I'm investigating an issue using SPI between an IMXRT and NRF52 MCUs and as part of that I went back to basics and was validating the SPI peripherals behaviours on both ICs, to do this I ran the tests/drivers/spi/spi_controller_peripheral test on both MCUs and I got this strange result on the NRF

------ TESTSUITE SUMMARY END ------

It seems like all the Async tests fail on this platform, is this right?

To Reproduce Setup a dev kit with some loop back jumpers from

• P0.31 -> P0.11
• P0.30 -> P0.12
• P0.29 -> P0.13
• P0.28 -> P0.14

With the attached overlay file nrf52dk_nrf52832.overlay.txt

Build and run

Expected behavior Full set of passes

Impact Unclear, may be unrelated or may be the cause of my issues
