* If desired, :meth:`write` ``data`` queuing the next
(possibly chained) transfer.
**Notes**:
* In order to chain a transfer onto an in-flight transfer without
deasserting ``cs`` in between, the second :meth:`write` needs to
happen strictly later than ``2*ref_period_mu`` (two coarse RTIO
cycles) but strictly earlier than ``xfer_period_mu + write_period_mu``
after the first. Note that :meth:`write` already applies a delay of
``xfer_period_mu + write_period_mu``.
* A full transfer takes ``write_period_mu + xfer_period_mu``.
* Chained transfers can happen every ``xfer_period_mu``.
* Read data is available every ``xfer_period_mu`` starting
a bit after xfer_period_mu (depending on ``clk_phase``).
* As a consequence, in order to chain transfers together, new data must
be written before the pending transfer's read data becomes available.
