SPI bus is never generating error during transfer, so a simple way to check if a chip is correctly connected on a SPI bus is to check a fixed value like whoami against valid values. 0x00 or 0xff can never happened. It is better to do this test first since if there is a problem with a DTS and an incorrect chip is wired instead, a write can be more damaging than a read.
