+Some SPI controllers and devices support Dual and Quad SPI transfer mode.
+It allows data in SPI system transfered in 2 wires(DUAL) or 4 wires(QUAD).
+Now the value that spi-tx-bus-width and spi-rx-bus-width can receive is
+only 1(SINGLE), 2(DUAL) and 4(QUAD).
+Dual/Quad mode is not allowed when 3-wire mode is used.
 
 If a gpio chipselect is used for the SPI slave the gpio number will be passed
 via the cs_gpio
