This is the new interface to control external LED's (user-facing).
Features:
- Supports maximum N Leds (where the board can define N)
- on/off/blink M times
- Different priorities
- Allows setting a single led or multiple at once
The check if stick were touched was only working in one direction (per
axis) because fabsf was used incorrectly.
However, this check is still only a differential check triggered by
fast movement and does not trigger if someone slowly moves a stick to
the side. Also, the sensitivity depends on the rate of the commander
loop and/or the RC update loop. The correct solution would be a proper
filtering and trigger for movement.

STM32, STM32 F7, and STM32 L4: Clone Freddie Chopin's I2C change to similar STM32 I2C drivers.
Save elapsed time before handling I2C in stm32_i2c_sem_waitstop()
This patch follows the same logic as in previous fix to
stm32_i2c_sem_waitdone().
It is possible that a context switch occurs after I2C registers are read
but before elapsed time is saved in stm32_i2c_sem_waitstop(). It is then
possible that the registers were read only once with "elapsed time"
equal 0. When scheduler resumes this thread it is quite possible that
now "elapsed time" will be well above timeout threshold. In that case
the function returns and reports a timeout, even though the registers
were not read "recently".
Fix this by inverting the order of operations in the loop - save elapsed
time before reading registers. This way a context switch anywhere in the
loop will not cause an erroneous "timeout" error.

Save elapsed time before handling I2C in stm32_i2c_sem_waitdone()
It is possible that a context switch occurs after stm32_i2c_isr() call
but before elapsed time is saved in stm32_i2c_sem_waitdone(). It is then
possible that the handling code was executed only once with "elapsed
time" equal 0. When scheduler resumes this thread it is quite possible
that now "elapsed time" will be well above timeout threshold. In that
case the function returns and reports a timeout, even though the
handling code was not executed "recently".

This backend will keep all updated data in RAM and
persist the data between reboots using flash memory.
Using only flash memory would result in a slow backend that
would decrease the lifetime of the flash memory, using both
we can reduce the several cycles of erase & write into flash
and keep the performance of the backend almost as fast
as the RAM only backend.
Note: Do not use this backend on a sector from the same flash memory
bank as the memory bank that STM32 read instructions or it can block
the CPU from fetching instructions from flash during the erase and
write operations and cause your drone crash.
This saves almost 2kb of RAM when using the mavlink shell. 70 matches the
size of the mavlink message. Since the pipe is blocking, a process writing
a lot of data will just wait, data will not be dropped.
The mavlink shell is the only process creating a pipe.
