/**
* @defgroup IO HAL
* @brief Hardware Abstraction Layer.
* @details Under ChibiOS/RT the set of the various device driver interfaces
* is called the HAL subsystem: Hardware Abstraction Layer. The HAL is the
* abstract interface between ChibiOS/RT application and hardware.
*
* @section hal_device_driver_arch HAL Device Drivers Architecture
* A device driver is usually split in two layers:
* - High Level Device Driver (<b>HLD</b>). This layer contains the definitions
* of the driver's APIs and the platform independent part of the driver.<br>
* An HLD is composed by two files:
* - @p @<driver@>.c, the HLD implementation file. This file must be
* included in the Makefile in order to use the driver.
* - @p @<driver@>.h, the HLD header file. This file is implicitly
* included by the HAL header file @p hal.h.
* .
* - Low Level Device Driver (<b>LLD</b>). This layer contains the platform
* dependent part of the driver.<br>
* A LLD is composed by two files:
* - @p @<driver@>_lld.c, the LLD implementation file. This file must be
* included in the Makefile in order to use the driver.
* - @p @<driver@>_lld.h, the LLD header file. This file is implicitly
* included by the HLD header file.
* .
* The LLD may be not present in those drivers that do not access the
* hardware directly but through other device drivers, as example the
* MMC_SPI driver uses the SPI and PAL drivers in order to implement
* its functionalities.
* .
