This adds support for ringbuffers with different word sizes between the buffer and the peripheral, resulting in data conversion by the DMA engine. The DMA engine performs casts as described in the reference manual, which are what one expects (truncating if target too short, prepending 0s if target to long).
To avoid accidental casts and maintain the original behaviour I created a new constructor
new_with_aligment
. I am up for any name suggestions, ST calls these operations data alignments.
