/**
 * @defgroup SIO SIO Driver
 * @brief   Generic SIO Driver.
 * @details This driver abstracts a generic serial communication channel,
 *          usually an UART, this driver is similar to Serial and UART drivers
 *          but follows a different concept:
 *          - Very close to HW.
 *          - No buffering done in SW, the driver relies on the peripheral
 *            internal FIFO, if any.
 *          - Asynchronous, the API is always non blocking.
 *          - Callbacks capable, operations completion and other events are
 *            notified using callbacks.
 *          - Very short code paths, especially in ISRs.
 *          .
 * @pre     In order to use the SIO driver the @p HAL_USE_SIO option
 *          must be enabled in @p halconf.h.
 *
 * @section sio_1 Driver State Machine
 * The driver implements a state machine internally, not all the driver
 * functionalities can be used in any moment, any transition not explicitly
 * shown in the following diagram has to be considered an error and shall
 * be captured by an assertion (if enabled).
