Sorry for the late reply, I was away.

What I mean by short/long frame sync is: the frame sync lasts for 1 
bit/1 word wide.

Eg.: For short frame sync, we get a frame sync signal for 1 clock before 
the first bit on the RX/TX.

It is different from I2S mode where the frame sync is inverted and the 
transition starts 1 clock before the bits and lasts till bit 1.
