When the SPI is configured as a master (MSTR in SPCR is set), the user can determine
the direction of the SS pin.
If SS is configured as an output, the pin is a general output pin which does not affect the
SPI system. Typically, the pin will be driving the SS pin of the SPI slave.
If SS is configured as an input, it must be held high to ensure Master SPI operation. If
the SS pin is driven low by peripheral circuitry when the SPI is configured as a master
with the SS pin defined as an input, the SPI system interprets this as another master
selecting the SPI as a slave and starting to send data to it.
