This is not strictly needed in order for #1056 to be resolved,
because the "make long-lived" machinery is unaware of this pointer.
However, as UARTs are assumed to be long-lived, this change is
beneficial because it moves the long-lived buffer into the upper
memory area with other long-lived objects, instead of remaining in
the low heap.
Its slimmed down by removing the qstr and bit packing TCC info.
The trinket m0 build actually grows by 20 bytes. The arduino zero
build shrinks by 188 bytes.
The following error occurs when building with gcc 5.4.1 (debian stretch):
common-hal/busio/UART.c:104:83: error: 'sercom_index' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
sercom_insts[rx->sercom[j].index]->USART.CTRLA.bit.ENABLE == 0) ||
It may be related to the addition of rx-only UARTs; gcc is unable
to infer the intended relationship between have_tx and sercom_index
being set (I am still not entirely confident of it myself)
1. UART: ported to ASF4. Allow rx-only and tx-only. Add .baudrate r/w property.
2. Make NeoPixel timing deterministic by turning off caches during NeoPixel writes.
3. Incorporate asf4 updates:
a. async USART driver
b. bringing Atmel START configuration closer to what we use
c. Clock initialization order now specified by CIRCUITPY_GCLK_INIT_1ST and _LAST.
4. supervisor/port.c: Move commented-out clock-test pin setting to correct location.
