A if `netdev_driver_t::confirm_send()` is provided, it provides the
new netdev API. However, detecting the API at runtime and handling
both API styles comes at a cost. This can be optimized in case only
new or only old style netdevs are in use.
To do so, this adds the pseudo modules `netdev_legacy_api` and
`netdev_new_api`. As right now no netdev actually implements the new
API, all netdevs pull in `netdev_legacy_api`. If `netdev_legacy_api` is
in used but `netdev_new_api` is not, we can safely assume at compile
time that only legacy netdevs are in use. Similar, if only
`netdev_new_api` is used, only support for the new API is needed. Only
when both are in use, run time checks are needed.
This provides two helper function to check for a netif if the
corresponding netdev implements the old or the new API. (With one
being the inverse of the other.) They are suitable for constant folding
when only new or only legacy devices are in use. Consequently, dead
branches should be eliminated by the optimizer.
The source / destination address of the SDHC transfer needs to be
word-aligned.
Use the mtd buffer to fix the alignment if `mtd_write_page` is used,
otherwise return -ENOTSUP.
`rtt_get_counter()` already waits for syncbusy before reading the time,
but we also have to do this in RTC mode (`rtc_get_time()`) to avoid
reading old values.
Thus, always wait for syncbusy to clear when accessing the COUNT register.
On SAM L21 only 8 EXTWAKE pins can wake the CPU from Backup sleep.
Handle this analogous to the RTC tamper pins on SAM D5x/E5x where
configuring them as an interrupt will also cause them to wake the
device from Deep Sleep.
The sam0 rtt busy loops for 180us every time an alarm is set or
the counter is read, this propagates and leads to timing errors
on ztimer_msec that are higher than > +-1msec.
The same goes for fe310.
This introduces KCONFIG_BOARD_CONFIG and KCONFIG_CPU_CONFIG variable for
boards and CPUs (including common directories) to add default
configuration files to be merged. The current approach, as it uses
Makefile.features, would include boards first, not allowing them to
override CPU configurations.
Setting up a DMA transfer can take longer than sending out a buffer
byte by byte if the buffer is small.
DMA only shows advantages for large buffers, using it for every transfer
will cause a net slowdown.
Since we did not come up with a good way to determine the treshold based
on the SPI frequency, just use a fixed buffer for now so that DMA can be
used without slowing things down overall.
In Asynchronous Fractional baud rate mode, the baud rate can not be
greater than the source frequency divided by the oversampling (8, 16).
Currently we are always using 16x oversampling.
This makes it impossible to e.g. set a 2 MHz UART baud rate on the 16 MHz
`saml10-xpro`.
With this change, the oversampling is automatically reduced to 8x which
allows us to set 16 MHz / 8 -> 2 MHz baud rate.
