When the RDRF bit has been set to 1 at the 8th rising edge of the transfer clock, the ORER bit in
SSSR is set to 1. This indicates that an overrun error (OEI) has occurred. At this time, data
reception is stopped. While the ORER bit in SSSR is set to 1, reception is not performed. To
resume the reception, clear the ORER bit to 0.
