This decoder stacks on top of the 'spi' PD and decodes the button states
of an NES gamepad.

The SPI decoder needs to be configured as follows:

Clock polarity = 1
Clock phase    = 0
Bit order      = msb-first
Word size      = 8

Chip-select is not used and must not be assigned to any channel.

Hardware setup is as follows:
        ___
   GND |o  \
   CUP |o o| VCC
 OUT 0 |o o| D3
    D1 |o o| D4
       -----
NES Gamepad Connector

VCC   - Power 5V
GND   - Ground
CUP   - Shift register clock (CLK)
OUT 0 - Shift register latch (optional)
D1    - Gamepad data (MOSI)
D3    - Data (unused)
D4    - Data (unused)

Data pins D3 and D4 are not used by the standard gamepad but
by special controllers like the Nintento Zapper light gun.
