The HW assumes with this flag that MISO (=RX) sits on the same physical
line as MOSI (=TX). This flag essentially just changes directions of
the TX GPIO pin from out to in and samples the level on the TX pin.

Without this patch what you would need to do to make such a device
work is connecting RX with TX and that with the MIMO pin of the final
device (maybe add a pullup). This flag is essentially just a shortcut.

Note that the SPI-framework does the testing so that either RX or TX
can be set in SPI-3WIRE mode (not both).
