Previously, sizeof() blindly assumed LAYOUT_NATIVE and tried to align
size even for packed LAYOUT_LITTLE_ENDIAN & LAYOUT_BIG_ENDIAN. As sizeof()
is implemented on a strucuture descriptor dictionary (not an structure
object), resolving this required passing layout type around.
This allows the mp_obj_t type to be configured to something other than a
pointer-sized primitive type.
This patch also includes additional changes to allow the code to compile
when sizeof(mp_uint_t) != sizeof(void*), such as using size_t instead of
mp_uint_t, and various casts.
Contains implementation of ?: (non-capturing groups), ?? (non-greedy ?),
as well as much improved robustness, and edge cases and error handling by
Amir Plivatsky (@ampli).
These MPHAL functions are intended to replace previously used HAL_Delay(),
HAL_GetTick() to provide better naming and MPHAL separation (they are
fully equivalent otherwise).
Also, refactor extmod/modlwip to use them.
This requires root access. And on recent Linux kernels, with
CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM option enabled, only address ranges listed in
/proc/iomem can be accessed. The above compiled-time option can be
however overriden with boot-time option "iomem=relaxed".
This also removed separate read/write paths - there unlikely would
be a case when they're different.
