  * This model Supports a connection to a single SPI responder.

+ *
+ * All SPI function control is mapped into the SPI register space to enable
+ * full control by firmware.
+ *
+ * SPI Controller has sequencer and shift engine. The SPI shift engine
+ * performs serialization and de-serialization according to the control by
+ * the sequencer and according to the setup defined in the configuration
+ * registers and the SPI sequencer implements the main control logic.
