Easy, it's not synchronous.  You assert CS, clock a command to the
device, then depending on implementation you signal the device to
transmit (by toggling CS or stopping the clock) or you don't.  When the
slave transmits the master keeps clocking till the slave finishes.
Check the chip's datasheet it should give you a detailed protocol
breakdown.  If the hardware SPI interface can handle it is a different
question :)  Doing it in software on a couple GPIO pins wouldn't be hard
tho.
