Note:
For transfer of a sector of data, the host needs to read Status register (X'1F7') in order to
clear INTRQ (interrupt) signal. The Status register should be read within a period from the
DRQ setting by the device to starting of the sector data transfer. Note that the host does
not need to read the Status register for the reading of a single sector or the last sector in
multiple-sector reading. If the timing to read the Status register does not meet above
condition, normal data transfer operation is not guaranteed.
When the host new command even if the device requests the data transfer (setting in DRQ
bit), the correct device operation is not guaranteed.
* Transfers dummy data
* The host should receive 512-byte dummy data or release the DRQ set state by resetting.
