Add a warning about duplicate USB pullup for STM32F4 boards
This is suboptimal hardware design, which might need some special care on the software side. This noticed in the Arduino_Core_STM32, see stm32duino/Arduino_Core_STM32#1029 For these boards, a schematic is available to confirm the resistor: - STM32F407VET6-STM32-F4VE-V2.0 - STM32F407ZGT6-VCC-GND-Large - STM32F407VET6-VCC-GND-Small These boards have not schematic, but there is a 1.5kΩ resistor clearly visible in the USB data path that is almost certainly a pullup: - STM32F401RCT6-STM32F-Core-Board - STM32F407VET6-Euse-M4-DEMO-Medium - STM32F407ZGT6-STM32F-Core-Board - STM32F407VGT6-SR-Board All other F4 boards have no such resistor in the schematic or visible in the images. Other series might also have this problem, but were not checked.
