# Note, this is radio specific, not SPI specific. hmm.
# fine for now to test the theory, but architecturally this is wrong.
# might have an optional reset line in spi_config, and an spi_reset()
# in spi.c that excercises it if required, as a more generic way
# to do this, as most SPI devices have a reset line. If value not
# defined, nothing happens. If value defined, it must have a
# polarity too, and spi.c will set it to an output inactive
# until reset is required. Also need to set up a reset active
# time and a 'after reset' guard time. That will cover most
# cases generically without having to surface the whole inner GPIO
# out to the python.
