Microwatt may have firmware that places data in r3, which was used to
detect microwatt vs powernv. This breaks the existing probing of the UART
type in this powerpc port.
Instead build only the appropriate UART into the firmware, selected by
passing the option UART=potato or UART=lpc_serial to the Makefile.
A future enhancement would be to parse the device tree and configure
MicroPython based on the settings.
The linker script was included in the "$^" inputs, causing the build to
fail:
LINK build/firmware.elf
powerpc64le-linux-gnu-ld: error: linker script file 'powerpc.lds' appears multiple times
As a fix the linker script is left as a dependency of the elf, but only the
object files are linked.
Note: the uncrustify configuration is explicitly set to 'add' instead of
'force' in order not to alter the comments which use extra spaces after //
as a means of indenting text for clarity.
Add -Wdouble-promotion and -Wfloat-conversion for most ports to ban out
implicit floating point conversions, and add extra Travis builds using
MICROPY_FLOAT_IMPL_FLOAT to uncover warnings which weren't found
previously. For the unix port -Wsign-comparison is added as well but only
there since only clang supports this but gcc doesn't.
This string is recognised by uncrustify, to disable formatting in the
region marked by these comments. This is necessary in the qstrdef*.h files
to prevent modification of the strings within the Q(...). In other places
it is used to prevent excessive reformatting that would make the code less
readable.
