 * @section avr_pal_2 AVR PAL driver implementation features
 * The AVR PAL driver implementation fully supports the following hardware
 * capabilities:
 * - 8 bits wide ports.
 * - Atomic set/reset functions.
 * - Output latched regardless of the pad setting.
 * - Direct read of input pads regardless of the pad setting.
 * .
 * @section avr_pal_3 Supported PAL setup modes
 * The AVR PAL driver supports the following I/O modes:
 * - @p PAL_MODE_RESET.
 * - @p PAL_MODE_UNCONNECTED.
 * - @p PAL_MODE_INPUT.
 * - @p PAL_MODE_INPUT_PULLUP.
 * - @p PAL_MODE_INPUT_ANALOG.
 * - @p PAL_MODE_OUTPUT_PUSHPULL.
 * .
 * Any attempt to setup an invalid mode is ignored.
 *
 * @section avr_pal_4 Suboptimal behavior
 * The AVR PORT is less than optimal in several areas, the limitations
 * should be taken in account while using the PAL driver:
 * - Pad/port toggling operations are not atomic.
 * - Pad/group mode setup is not atomic.
 * - Group set+reset function is not atomic.
 * - Writing on pads/groups/ports programmed as input with pull-up
 *   resistor changes the resistor setting because the output latch is
 *   used for resistor selection.
 * - The PORT registers layout on some devices is not regular (it does
 *   not have contiguous PIN, DDR, PORT registers in this order), such
 *   ports cannot be accessed using the PAL driver. For example, PORT F
 *   on ATmega128. Verify the user manual of your device.
