The controller transmit-only mode prevents the processor from reading the MCSPI_RX_0/1/2/3 register (minimizing data movement) when only transmission is meaningful.
The controller transmit-only mode is programmable per channel (the MCSPI_CHCONF_0/1/2/3[13-12] TRM bit field). Transmission starts only after data is loaded into the MCSPI_TX_0/1/2/3 register.
Rule 1 and Rule 2, defined in Section 12.1.5.4.3.2, apply in this mode.
Rule 3, defined in Section 12.1.5.4.3.2, does not apply.
In controller transmit-only mode, the MCSPI_RX_0/1/2/3 register state FULL does not prevent transmission and the MCSPI_RX_0/1/2/3 register is always overwritten with the new MCSPI word. This event is not significant when only transmission is meaningful. Thus, the RX0_OVERFLOW bit in the MCSPI_IRQSTATUS register is never set in this mode.
The hardware automatically disables the RX_FULL interrupt and the DMA read requests.
The transfer status is given by the MCSPI_CHSTAT_0/1/2/3[2] EOT bit.
