1: Mode fault occurred
This flag is set by hardware and reset by a software sequence. Refer to
page 557 for the software sequence.
0: CRC value received matches the SPI_RXCRCR value
1: CRC value received does not match the SPI_RXCRCR value
This flag is set by hardware and cleared by software writing 0.

Data received or to be transmitted.
The data register is split into 2 buffers - one for writing (Transmit Buffer) and another one for
reading (Receive buffer). A write to the data register writes into the Tx buffer and a read
from the data register returns the value held in the Rx buffer.
Depending on the data frame format selection bit (DFF in SPI_CR1 register), the data
sent or received is either 8-bit or 16-bit. This selection has to be made before enabling
the SPI to ensure correct operation.
For an 8-bit data frame, the buffers are 8-bit and only the LSB of the register
(SPI_DR[7:0]) is used for transmission/reception. When in reception mode, the MSB of
the register (SPI_DR[15:8]) is forced to 0.
For a 16-bit data frame, the buffers are 16-bit and the entire register, SPI_DR[15:0] is
used for transmission/reception.
