/// \class RHSPIDriver RHSPIDriver.h <RHSPIDriver.h>
/// \brief Base class for a RadioHead drivers that use the SPI bus
/// to communicate with its transport hardware.
///
/// This class can be subclassed by Drivers that require to use the SPI bus.
/// It can be configured to use either the RHHardwareSPI class (if there is one available on the platform)
/// of the bitbanged RHSoftwareSPI class. The default behaviour is to use a pre-instantiated built-in RHHardwareSPI
/// interface.
///
/// SPI bus access is protected by ATOMIC_BLOCK_START and ATOMIC_BLOCK_END, which will ensure interrupts 
/// are disabled during access.
/// 
/// The read and write routines implement commonly used SPI conventions: specifically that the MSB
/// of the first byte transmitted indicates that it is a write and the remaining bits indicate the rehgister to access)
/// This can be overriden 
/// in subclasses if necessaryor an alternative class, RHNRFSPIDriver can be used to access devices like 
/// Nordic NRF series radios, which have different requirements.
///
/// Application developers are not expected to instantiate this class directly: 
/// it is for the use of Driver developers.
