       it can be used by OSAL implementations where the underlying RTOS is
       lacking a timeout feature or missing.
- HAL: Added CAN3 support to the STM32 CANv1 driver.
- HAL: Added support for all existing STM32 Nucleo and Discovery boards.

       driver, now it is a registry key.

       independently.
- EX:  Added compass implementation for ST LSM303DLHC device.
- EX:  Added accelerometer implementation for ST LSM303DLHC device.
- EX:  Added gyroscope implementation for ST L3GD20 device.

- VAR: Updated CMSIS to version 4.50, it still contains the same errors
       found in 4.30, fixes applied.

       timers list.

       allows the application to detect if the USB is communicating or if
       it is disconnected or powered down.
- HAL: Added wake-up and suspend events to the STM32 OTGv1 driver.
- HAL: STM32 USB/OTG buffers and queues do not more require to be aligned in

       suppress default ISRs by defining STM32_TIMx_SUPPRESS_ISR.
       The application is now able to define custom handlers if required
       or simply save space if the driver callbacks are not used.
       Now the functions xxx_lld_serve_interrupts() have global scope, this
       way custom ISRs can call them from outside the driver module.
