The calls to rtc_init_start(), sdcard_init() and storage_init() are all
guarded by a check for first_soft_reset, so it's simpler to just put them
all before the soft-reset loop, without the check.
The call to machine_init() can also go before the soft-reset loop because
it is only needed to check the reset cause which can happen once at the
first boot. To allow this to work, the reset cause must be set to SOFT
upon a soft-reset, which is the role of the new function machine_deinit().
The SPI sub-system is independent from the uPy state (eg the heap) and so
can safely persist across a soft reset. And this is actually necessary for
drivers that rely on SPI and that also need to persist across soft reset
(eg external SPI flash memory).
This patch adds in internal config value MICROPY_HW_ENABLE_HW_I2C that is
automatically configured, and enabled only if one or more hardware I2C
ports are defined in the mpconfigboard.h file. If none are defined then
the pyb.I2C class is excluded from the build, along with all supporting
code. The machine.I2C class will still be available for software I2C.
Disabling all hardware I2C on an F4 board saves around 10,000 bytes of code
and 200 bytes of RAM.
This is to keep the top-level directory clean, to make it clear what is
core and what is a port, and to allow the repository to grow with new ports
in a sustainable way.
