Dave Hylands dd38d90724 Initial checkin with STM HAL
This compiles and links, but hasn't been tested on a board
yet and even if it was run, it doesn't currently do anything.

<h2>disk_read</h2>

<h4>Parameters</h4>
<dl class="par">
<dt>pdrv</dt>
<dd>Specifies the physical drive number.</dd>
<dt>buff</dt>
<dd>Pointer to the <em>byte array</em> to store the read data. The size of buffer must be in sector size * sector count.</dd>
<dt>sector</dt>
<dd>Specifies the start sector number in logical block address (LBA).</dd>
<dt>count</dt>
<dd>Specifies number of sectors to read. FatFs specifis with 1 to 128. Generally, a multiple sector transfer request must not be split into single sector transactions to the device, or you may not get good read performance.</dd>

<h4>Return Value</h4>
<dl class="ret">
<dt>RES_OK (0)</dt>
<dd>The function succeeded.</dd>

<h4>Description</h4>
<p>The memory address specified by <tt class="arg">buff</tt> is not that always aligned to word boundary because the type of argument is defined as <tt>BYTE*</tt>. The misaligned read/write request can occure at <a href="appnote.html#fs1">direct transfer</a>. If the bus architecture, especially DMA controller, does not allow misaligned memory access, it should be solved in this function. There are some workarounds described below to avoid this issue.</p>
<ul>
<li>Convert word transfer to byte transfer in this function. - Recommended.</li>
<li>For <tt>f_read()</tt>, avoid long read request that includes a whole of sector. - Direct transfer will never occure.</li>
<li>For <tt>f_read(fp, buff, btr, &amp;br)</tt>, make sure that <tt>(((UINT)buff &amp; 3) == (f_tell(fp) &amp; 3))</tt> is true. - Word aligned direct transfer is guaranteed.</li>
