Properly calculate the period and the prescaler, this now allows to
set the PWM frequency down to 5Hz. Make Timer IDs go from 0 to 3.
Add the trigger definitions for the channel IRQ.
These can be used to insert arbitrary checks, polling, etc into the VM.
They are left general because the VM is a highly tuned loop and it should
be up to a given port how that port wants to modify the VM internals.
One common use would be to insert a polling check, but only done after
a certain number of opcodes were executed, so as not to slow down the VM
too much. For example:
#define MICROPY_VM_HOOK_COUNT (30)
#define MICROPY_VM_HOOK_INIT static uint vm_hook_divisor = MICROPY_VM_HOOK_COUNT
#define MICROPY_VM_HOOK_POLL if (--vm_hook_divisor == 0) { \
vm_hook_divisor = MICROPY_VM_HOOK_COUNT;
extern void vm_hook_function(void);
vm_hook_function();
}
#define MICROPY_VM_HOOK_LOOP MICROPY_VM_HOOK_POLL
#define MICROPY_VM_HOOK_RETURN MICROPY_VM_HOOK_POLL
If None was returned for such requests (which likely means that user simply
didn't handle them), it means successful init and default sector size of 512
bytes respectively. This makes only BP_IOCTL_SEC_COUNT a mandatory request,
and thus re-establishes parity with old interface, where only .count() is
mandatory().
