This controls the MOSI output level during the clock idle cycles 
inserted between consecutive SPI words, rather than the bus idle state 
after a transfer completes.There are some issues with the description 
here and I will make modifications. Meanwhile, there is another problem 
here. Since this mainly concerns the attributes of the device rather 
than the host, is it correct to add it here? Can I plus 
SPI_MOSI_INTERWORD_LOW/SPI_MOSI_INTERWORD_HIGH/SPI_MOSI_INTERWORD_KEEP 
option, in spidev mode?
