The API was based on the assumption that GPIO ports are mapped in memory
sanely, so that a `GPIO_PORT(num)` macro would work allow for constant
folding when `num` is known and still be efficient when it is not.
Some MCUs, however, will need a look up tables to efficiently translate
GPIO port numbers to the port's base address. This will prevent the use
of such a `GPIO_PORT(num)` macro in constant initializers.
As a result, we rather provide `GPIO_PORT_0`, `GPIO_PORT_1`, etc. macros
for each GPIO port present (regardless of MCU naming scheme), as well as
`GPIO_PORT_A`, `GPIO_PORT_B`, etc. macros if (and only if) the MCU port
naming scheme uses letters rather than numbers.
These can be defined as macros to the peripheral base address even when
those are randomly mapped into the address space. In addition, a C
function `gpio_port()` replaces the role of the `GPIO_PORT()` and
`gpio_port_num()` the `GPIO_PORT_NUM()` macro. Those functions will
still be implemented as efficient as possible and will allow constant
folding where it was formerly possible. Hence, there is no downside for
MCUs with sane peripheral memory mapping, but it is highly beneficial
for the crazy ones.
There are also two benefits for the non-crazy MCUs:
1. We can now test for valid port numbers with `#ifdef GPIO_PORT_<NUM>`
- This directly benefits the test in `tests/periph/gpio_ll`, which
can now provide a valid GPIO port for each and every board
- Writing to invalid memory mapped I/O addresses was treated as
triggering undefined behavior by the compiler and used as a
optimization opportunity
2. We can now detect at compile time if the naming scheme of the MCU
uses letters or numbers, and produce more user friendly output.
- This is directly applied in the test app
This block of code inconsistently made use of else-if statments. The
patch makes the use consistent. The change also makes the code a bit
simpler to read.
APB12 is never defined as a macro. It is an element in the bus_t enum.
Therefore, the test to check if it is defined will always fail.
APB12 is not a real bus. It is the second register of the APB1 bus. I am
not aware of any STM32 family where the ABP2 bus is implmented (ie
RCC_APB2ENR_SYSCFGEN is defined) and devices attached to said bus are
enabled via the APB1 second register. For this reason, the fix is to
simply remove the check.
The comments still claim STM32F1 support is missing, but this was
recently added.
Also, drop an empty line to fix `too many consecutive empty lines`
nitpick of the CI.
