 * @section usb_2 USB Operations
 * The USB driver is quite complex and USB is complex in itself, it is
 * recommended to study the USB specification before trying to use the
 * driver.
 *
 * @subsection usb_2_1 USB Implementation
 * The USB driver abstracts the inner details of the underlying USB hardware.
 * The driver works asynchronously and communicates with the application
 * using callbacks. The application is responsible of the descriptors and
 * strings required by the USB device class to be implemented and of the
 * handling of the specific messages sent over the endpoint zero. Standard
 * messages are handled internally to the driver. The application can use
 * hooks in order to handle custom messages or override the handling of the
 * default handling of standard messages.
 *
 * @subsection usb_2_2 USB Endpoints
 * USB endpoints are the objects that the application uses to exchange
 * data with the host. There are two kind of endpoints:
 * - <b>IN</b> endpoints are used by the application to transmit data to
 *   the host.<br>
 * - <b>OUT</b> endpoints are used by the application to receive data from
 *   the host.
 * .
 * In ChibiOS/RT the endpoints can be configured in two distinct ways:
 * - <b>Packet Mode</b>. In this mode the driver invokes a callback each
 *   time a packet has been received or transmitted. This mode is especially
 *   suited for those applications handling continuous streams of data.
 *   <br><br>
 *   States diagram for OUT endpoints in packet mode:

    node [shape=circle, fontname=Helvetica, fontsize=8, fixedsize="true",
          width="0.9", height="0.9"];
    edge [fontname=Helvetica, fontsize=8];

    disabled [label="EP_DISABLED\nDisabled", style="bold"];
    receiving [label="EP_BUSY\nReceiving Packet"];
    idle [label="EP_IDLE\nPacket in Buffer"];

    disabled -> receiving [label="\nusbInitEndpointI()"];
    receiving -> idle [label="\npacket received\n>out_cb<"];
    idle -> receiving [label="\nusbReadPacketBuffer()\nusbStartReceiveI()"];
    receiving -> disabled [label="\nUSB RESET\nusbDisableEndpointsI()"];
    idle -> disabled [label="\nUSB RESET\nusbDisableEndpointsI()"];

          width="0.9", height="0.9"];
    edge [fontname=Helvetica, fontsize=8];

    disabled [label="EP_DISABLED\nDisabled", style="bold"];
    transmitting [label="EP_BUSY\nSending Packet"];
    idle [label="EP_IDLE\nBuffer Empty"];

    disabled -> idle [label="\nusbInitEndpointI()"];
    idle -> transmitting [label="\nusbWritePacketBuffer()\nusbStartTransmitI()"];
    transmitting -> idle [label="\npacket sent\n>in_cb<"];
    transmitting -> disabled [label="\nUSB RESET\nusbDisableEndpointsI()"];
    idle -> disabled [label="\nUSB RESET\nusbDisableEndpointsI()"];
  }
 *   @enddot
 *   <br><br>
 * - <b>Transaction Mode</b>. In this mode the driver invokes a callback
 *   only after a large, potentially multi-packet, transfer has been
 *   completed, a callback is invoked only at the end of the transfer.
 *   <br><br>

    idle -> disabled [label="\nUSB RESET\nusbDisableEndpointsI()"];
  }
 *   @enddot
 *   <br><br>
 * .
 * @subsection usb_2_3 USB Packet Buffers
 * An important difference between packet and transaction modes is that there
 * is a dedicated endpoint buffer in packet mode while in transaction mode
 * the application has to specify its own buffer for duration of the whole
 * transfer.<br>
 * Packet buffers cannot be accessed directly by the application because those
 * could not be necessarily memory mapped, a buffer could be a FIFO or some
 * other kind of memory accessible in a special way depending on the
 * underlying hardware architecture, the functions @p usbReadPacketI() and
 * @p usbWritePacketI() allow to access packet buffers in an abstract way.
 *
 * @subsection usb_2_4 USB Callbacks
 * The USB driver uses callbacks in order to interact with the application.
 * There are several kinds of callbacks to be handled:
 * - Driver events callback. As example errors, suspend event, reset event
 *   etc.
 * - Messages Hook callback. This hook allows the application to implement
 *   handling of custom messages or to override the default handling of
 *   standard messages on endpoint zero.
 * - Descriptor Requested callback. When the driver endpoint zero handler
 *   receives a GET DESCRIPTOR message and needs to send a descriptor to
 *   the host it queries the application using this callback.
 * - Start of Frame callback. This callback is invoked each time a SOF
 *   packet is received.
 * - Endpoint callbacks. Each endpoint informs the application about I/O
 *   conditions using those callbacks.
