/**
 * \brief Receive a buffer of \c length characters via the USART
 *
 * This blocking function will receive a block of \c length characters
 * via the USART.
 *
 * \note Using this function in combination with the interrupt (\c *_job)
 *       functions is not recommended as it has no functionality to check if
 *       there is an ongoing interrupt driven operation running or not.
 *
 * \param[in]  module   Pointer to USART software instance struct
 * \param[out] rx_data  Pointer to receive buffer
 * \param[in]  length   Number of characters to receive
 *
 * \note If using 9-bit data, the array that *rx_data point to should be defined 
 *       as uint16_t array and should be casted to uint8_t* pointer. Because it 
 *       is an address pointer, the highest byte is not discarded. For example:
 *   \code
          #define RX_LEN 3
          uint16_t rx_buf[RX_LEN] = {0x0,};
          usart_read_buffer_wait(&module, (uint8_t*)rx_buf, RX_LEN);
    \endcode
 *
 * \return Status of the operation.
 * \retval STATUS_OK                If operation was completed
 * \retval STATUS_ERR_INVALID_ARG   If operation was not completed, due to an
 *                                  invalid argument being supplied
 * \retval STATUS_ERR_TIMEOUT       If operation was not completed, due
 *                                  to USART module timing out
 * \retval STATUS_ERR_BAD_FORMAT    If the operation was not completed,
 *                                  due to a configuration mismatch
 *                                  between USART and the sender
 * \retval STATUS_ERR_BAD_OVERFLOW  If the operation was not completed,
 *                                  due to the baudrate being too low or the
 *                                  system frequency being too high
 * \retval STATUS_ERR_BAD_DATA      If the operation was not completed, due
