Accelerometer SPI read in 3-wire mode
3-wire mode is entered by setting the CTRL2_A (21h) (SPI_ENABLE) bit equal to ‘1’ (SPI
serial interface read enable).

The SPI read command is performed with 16 clock pulses:
bit 0: READ bit. The value is 1.
bit 1-7: address AD(6:0). This is the address field of the indexed register.
bit 8-15: data DO(7:0) (read mode). This is the data that is read from the device (MSb first).
A multiple read command is also available in 3-wire mode.
The accelerometer address auto increment is enabled by default (volatile bit IF_ADD_INC in
CTRL2_A (21h) must be set to ‘0’ to disable).

The SPI write command is performed with 16 clock pulses. The multiple byte write
command is performed by adding blocks of 8 clock pulses to the previous one.
bit 0: WRITE bit. The value is 0.
bit 1-7: address AD(6:0). This is the address field of the indexed register.
bit 8-15: data DI(7:0) (write mode). This is the data that is written inside the device (MSb
first).
bit 16-... : data DI(...-8). Further data in multiple byte writes.
