The first use case is for drivers internal. So no need for a public
interface. Larger memcpy could also be implemented with DMA. But probably
this is also architecture specific. So DMA was no good example. But maybe
ADC is an better example. But I will come up, when time allows with
something line stm32can.h modelled after atcan.h and stm32adc.h modelled
after adc.h  and at91_adc.h, as a base for discussions.

Bye
