 ADC-DAC

Hi Jonathan,

The additional functionality it is a little bit unclear to me.

What do you mean by triggered buffer capture? Should I save previous GPIO
states into a buffer? What should I do with them?

A useful use case that I see:
- Is to register a function callback (in kernel space, maybe user space that
  should be used by a different driver), and called in the interrupt handler
  when the state of an input GPIO changes.
- Output to a GPIO from a buffer using a clock, obtaining a PWM like signal.
