-Mass Storage Device
-===================
-
-This driver implements a USB mass storage device. It requires a Chibios block device (e.g mmc_spi or SDC)
-
-Example usage:
---------------
-```c
-
-USBMassStorageDriver UMSD1;
-
-mmcObjectInit(&MMCD1);
-mmcStart(&MMCD1, &mmccfg);
-mmcConnect(&MMCD1);
-
-msdInit(&USBD1, &MMCD1, &UMSD1);
-```
-
-Events:
---------------
-```c
-chEvtRegisterMask(&UMSD1.evt_connected, &listener_connected, 1);
-chEvtRegisterMask(&UMSD1.evt_ejected, &listener_ejected, 2);
-
-while(TRUE) {
-  if(chEvtWaitOneTimeout(1, TIME_IMMEDIATE)) {
-    /* drive is now connected */
-      
-    /* wait until the drive is ejected */
-    chEvtWaitOne(2);
-      
-    /* drive is now ejected. do something */
-  }
-
-  chThdSleepMilliseconds(1000);
