Added status_byte.rs module in registers
Added get_last_chip_status_byte() API
Chip Status Byte is read on every SPI transaction

unrelated:

updated write_strobe method name to write_cmd_strobe, this way it seems more intuitive

@dsvensson , can you link this PR with the issue https://github.com/dsvensson/cc1101/issues/40 ?

dsvensson commented 5 months ago

Agree with the naming change. But I wonder if status should perhaps be a core::option::Option that's set to None on write_cmd_strobe as that invalidates the current status, and None also better represents the initial state.

Andrei-Basarab commented 5 months ago

Good point, I agree that Option<StatusByte> might be a better type for status and a more generic approach for the initial data. Regarding sending of write_cmd_strobe(), not all commands have the same effect, and we shall receive the last status before executing the command. Still, perhaps for state freshness and the user's peace of mind, we can simplify the behavior of setting it to None. I will try to implement it later today.
