Adding new QSPI HAL header file. This should help to use memory-maped devices
as memories, graphical displays.
The API consist of few functions, most important are read/write/write_command functions.
The command format is:
```
----------------------------------------------
| Instruction | Address | Alt | Dummy | Data |
----------------------------------------------
```
We define only synch API at the moment.
Update the low power ticker wrapper code so it does not violate any
properties of the ticker specification. In specific this patch fixes
the following:
- Prevent spurious interrupts
- Fire interrupt only when the ticker times increments to or past the
value set by ticker_set_interrupt
- Disable interrupts when ticker_init is called
When the define LPTICKER_DELAY_TICKS is set deep sleep can be randomly
disallowed when using the low power ticker. This is because a Timer
object, which locks deep sleep, is used to protect from back-to-back
writes to lp tickers which can't support that. This causes tests which
assert that deep sleep is allowed to intermittently fail.
To fix this intermittent failure this patch adds the function
sleep_manager_can_deep_sleep_test_check() which checks if deep sleep
is allowed over a duration. It updates all the tests to use
sleep_manager_can_deep_sleep_test_check() rather
than sleep_manager_can_deep_sleep() so the tests work even if deep
sleep is spuriously blocked.
Wait until dispatching is finished before scheduling the next ticker
interrupt. This prevents unnecissary calls to set_interrupt from
periodic elements being added back.
This is particularly useful for the low power ticker on devices with
LPTICKER_DELAY_TICKS set to a non-zero value. This is because the low
power ticker cannot be reschduled immediately and needs to fall back
onto the microsecond ticker which temporarily locks deep sleep.
When computing the next set_interrupt time in the common ticker layer
the absolute time in microseconds is rounded down to the closes low
power tick. Because of this the low power ticker interrupt fires one
cycle too early. This causes ticker_irq_handler to run even though
there are no events ready to run.
To prevent this unnecessary interrupt this patch changes the
computation for the next set_interrupt time to round up rather than
down.
SerialWireOutput was outputting 1 character per 32-bit write to the
ITM stimulus port. This is inefficient, and causes processing problems
with some viewers due to them receiving 3 NUL bytes between each
desired character.
Rework to allow us to be more efficient, and eliminate those NUL bytes:
* Retain existing mbed_itm_send() and clarify it's a single 32-bit write.
* Add new mbed_itm_send_block() that is appropriate for sending
character data, and modify SerialWireOutput to use it.
* Move "wait for FIFO ready" check to before the write, rather than
after.
One minor correction - FIFOREADY is a single bit of the register read.
Don't interpret reserved bits.
Keep the prototypes in rtc_api.h even when DEVICE_RTC is not defined.
This allows devices that aren't fully compliant with the RTC API to
still use the header and prototypes.
Current version:
The function ticker_init resets the internal count and disables the ticker interrupt.
Proposed version:
The function ticker_init allows the ticker to keep counting and disables the ticker interrupt.
This is a result of the following discussion:

Sleep - within 10us
Deepsleep - within 10ms
Note about mbed boards with interface, moved to lpc176x, as they are target related,
should be documented in the target documentation.
The tests will come as separate PR, to conform to this updates to sleep API.
