/**
* @defgroup GPT GPT Driver
* @brief Generic GPT Driver.
* @details This module implements a generic GPT (General Purpose Timer)
* driver. The timer can be programmed in order to trigger callbacks
* after a specified time period or continuously with a specified
* interval.
* @pre In order to use the GPT driver the @p HAL_USE_GPT option
* must be enabled in @p halconf.h.
*
* @section gpt_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).

* @section gpt_2 GPT Operations.
* This driver abstracts a generic timer composed of:
* - A clock prescaler.
* - A main up counter.
* - A comparator register that resets the main counter to zero when the limit
* is reached. A callback is invoked when this happens.
* .
* The timer can operate in three different modes:
* - <b>Continuous Mode</b>, a periodic callback is invoked until the driver
* is explicitly stopped.
* - <b>One Shot Mode</b>, a callback is invoked after the programmed period
* and then the timer automatically stops.
* - <b>Delay Mode</b>, the timer is used for inserting a brief delay into
* the execution flow, no callback is invoked in this mode.
* .
