Update new boards. Reduce memory use in S2 2023-09-14 11:19:38 -07:00

Allow use of CONFIG_SPIRAM_USE_CAPS_ALLOC
.. and switch makerfabs tft7 over to it as a test.

We have our existing way of "reserving" PSRAM for esp-idf (we actually
control it all but add back the "reserved" part). However, this does
not work with off the shelf esp_lcd, which only will allocate a
framebuffer in PSRAM if CONFIG_SPIRAM_USE_CAPS_ALLOC (or CONFIG_SPIRAM_USE_ALLOC)
is defined, not if CONFIG_SPIRAM_USE_MEMMAP is.

This new way is possibly compatible with more esp-idf code, but it complicates
CircuitPython's initial startup since nothing until port_heap_init is
permitted to use the CP heap or supervisor allocator. In practice this
seems to be OK today.

Right now this doesn't change the setting across all boards with PSRAM and so
it does not revert esp-idf to its prior state. Instead, what I'm thinking is
that we can do it during or just after the IDF5 update when sdkconfig files
will be getting an overhaul anyway.

Add makerfabs 7" 800x480 TFT
this is working, though it has to be down-clocked to 6.5MHz to prevent
display glitching
