This commit adds full support for a filesystem on all boards, with a block
device object mimxrt.Flash() and uos.VfsLfs2 enabled.
Main changes are:
- Refactoring of linker scripts to accomodate reserved area for VFS. VFS
will take up most of the available flash. 1M is reserved for code. 9K is
reserved for flash configuration, interrupts, etc.
- Addition of _boot.py with filesystem init code, called from main.c.
- Definition of the mimxrt module with a Flash class in modmimxrt.[ch].
- Implementation of a flash driver class in mimxrt_flash.c. All flashing
related functions are stored in ITCM RAM.
- Addition of the uos module with filesystem functions.
- Implementation of uos.urandom() for the sake of completeness of the uos
module.
It uses sample code from CircuitPython supplied under MIT license, which
uses the NXP SDK example code.
Done in collaboration with Philipp Ebensberger aka @alphaFred who
contributed the essential part to enable writing to flash while code is
executing, among other things.
SysTick cannot wake the CPU from WFI/WFE so a hardware timer is needed to
keep track of ticks/delay (similar to the nrf port).
Fixes issue #7234.

This commit implements an LED class with rudimentary parts of a pin C API
to support it. The LED class does not yet support setting an intensity.
This LED class is put in the machine module for the time being, until a
better place is found.
One LED is supported on TEENSY40 and MIMXRT1010_EVK boards.
No functionality change is intended with this commit, it just consolidates
the separate implementations of GC helper code to the lib/utils/ directory
as a general set of helper functions useful for any port. This reduces
duplication of code, and makes it easier for future ports or embedders to
get the GC implementation correct.
Ports should now link against gchelper_native.c and either gchelper_m0.s or
gchelper_m3.s (currently only Cortex-M is supported but other architectures
can follow), or use the fallback gchelper_generic.c which will work on
x86/x64/ARM.
The gc_helper_get_sp function from gchelper_m3.s is not really GC related
and was only used by cc3200, so it has been moved to that port and renamed
to cortex_m3_get_sp.
This is an extremely minimal port to the NXP i.MX RT, in the style of the
SAMD port It's largely based on the TinyUSB mimxrt implementation, using
the NXP SDK. It currently supports the Teensy 4.0 board with a REPL over
the USB-VCP interface.
This commit also adds the NXP SDK submodule (also from TinyUSB) to
lib/nxp_driver.
Note: if you already have the tinyusb submodule initialized recursively you
will need to run the following as the tinyusb sub-submodules have been
rearranged (upstream):
git submodule deinit lib/tinyusb
rm -rf .git/modules/lib/tinyusb
git submodule update --init lib/tinyusb
