Chip vendors often say this sort of thing and then get surprised by what
their users choose to do, and even if it only ever gets used with flash
all it would take is some new flash command which can use full duplex
for something.  Please write the code so it at least tries to handle
full duplex operation, if you can't test it fully that's not the end of
the world.  It doesn't look like it should be particularly difficult.
