- Changed declaration of SAUL classes (while keeping the format)
- Termed "class of SAUL classes" category of SAUL classes in the doc to
avoid confusion. (E.g. a SAUL class will now be in category sensor or
actuator.)
- Separate enums for SAUL category and intra-category ID. Numbers will now
but auto-assigned by the compiler
- Use constant look-up tables for stringification (one table per SAUL category).
==> This saves 512B in .data section of AVR
- Use standard RIOT style `ina2xx_params_t` on initialization as explained in
[1] instead of a custom API
- Provided a default configuration via `ina2xx_params_t` as required by [1] that
works fine for the INA219 breakout board and with an optimal resolution that
still covers the whole range of USB high-power devices (500 mA @ 5V) with a
comfortable safe margin.
- Changed initialization procedure to include a device reset and connectivity
test, as required by [1]
- The calibration value is now calculated by the driver
- This simplifies using the driver a lot
- The user can still choose a trade-off between range and resolution that
matches the application requirements, but now among predefined values
- This allows the driver to easily convert the raw data into meaningful
physical data, as the resolution of the raw data is known
- All measurements are provided as meaningful physical data as required by [1]

The INA219 has the exact same interface as the INA220 (including values and
semantics of the configuration register). Thus, this driver can be used for
both. The ina220 has been renamed to ina2xx to reflect this and pseudo modules
for the ina220 and ina219 have been added.
Added driver for the WS2812/SK6812 RGB LEDs often sold as NeoPixels, which due
to their integrated RGB controller can be chained to arbitrary length and
controlled with a single GPIO.
The ATmega128RFA1 and ATmega256RFR2 contain a version of this IP
on the MCU.
The radio core behaves mostly like a at86rf231, but all registers
are mapped to memory and radio states can directly generate interrupts
on the CPU.
The ATmega256RFR2 adds support for automatic retransmissions.
This has not been implemented yet.

During production it is often desirable for devices to perform
some kind of basic self-test to isolate defects.
For this it is necessary for the initialization not to hang if a
component is faulty / not connected.
This moves an already exising self-test that was previously enabled
as a debug option to an independent compile-time configurable.
It is necessary to call this in _init() before mrf24j40_hardware_reset()
as the reset function uses xtimer_usleep() which will cause another
thread to get scheduled.
If this thread (e.g. rpl or ipv6) then tries to access the netdev, RIOT
will crash.
