requires std?

Hi, just discovered this lib. Seems like something very useful for storing data on an sd card on a microcontroller. When I try to add this library to a no_std binary I get errors with memchr, does it require std with an allocator?

Hey, thanks for your interest. You don't need no_std (cf. https://docs.rs/memchr/2.4.1/memchr/#crate-features), we use this in https://github.com/solokeys/solo2/tree/main/runners/lpc55. I think if you link to https://github.com/solokeys/solo2/tree/main/components/c-stubs in your dependencies it might just work, if not let me know and I can try to reconstruct what exactly the dependencies are.

I remembered... In this commit: nickray@cdcb99f I removed a workaround for fact that the bindgen build dependency (of littlefs2-sys) triggers the std feature of memchr. However, with a new cargo you can simply add a line resolver = "2" under [package] in your consuming crate.

The link to a c-stubs is necessary at build time, otherwise you'll get a linker error then.

I'll try and improve the docs on this.

Thanks. I'll experiment a bit more when I get a bit further on the project
