+/// A "read-only" ring-buffer to be used together with the DMA controller which
+/// writes in a circular way, "uncontrolled" to the buffer.
+///
+/// A snapshot of the ring buffer state can be attained by setting the `ndtr` field
+/// to the current register value. `ndtr` describes the current position of the DMA
+/// write.
+///
+/// # Safety
+///
+/// The ring buffer controls the TCIF (transfer completed interrupt flag) to
+/// detect buffer overruns, hence this interrupt must be disabled.
+/// The buffer can detect overruns up to one period, that is, for a X byte buffer,
+/// overruns can be detected if they happen from byte X+1 up to 2X. After this
+/// point, overrunds may or may not be detected.
