Description
Current Features
this driver depends on stm32 HAL
Desired Additional Features
We want these to work with all potential hardware. This involves replacing HAL specific code with generalized code that utilized function pointers to use HAL functionality. The way in which we want to handle this is outlined in this doc under the "Driver Generalization" header.
Also a part of this ticket, find all references to this driver in Shepherd and Cerberus, and fix them to accommodate the new driver structure. A good way to check this is to update your embedded-base submodule to reflect the changes made to this driver, and then try building shepherd and cerberus. If they relied on this device, they will likely fail to build unless you make the appropriate changes

Research direction
Start with the Pi4io3 driver and the linked Driver Generalization guidance, then find all references to this driver in Shepherd and Cerberus. Update the embedded-base submodule and build Shepherd and Cerberus to identify remaining integration failures; done means the driver no longer depends on STM32 HAL-specific code and both projects build with the new structure.
