This commit does two things:
1. First, it reorganizes the driver Kconfig files so that each is self contained. Before, a part of the driver configuration was in drivers/Kconfig and the rest was in in drivers/xyz/Konfig. Now, all of the driver configuration is consolitated in the latter.
2. Second, this commit correct numerous serious errors introduced in a previous reorganization of the driver Kconfig files. This was first noted by Nicholas Chin in PR270 for the case of the drivers/i2c/Kconfig but some examination indicates that the error was introduced into several other Kconfig files as well.
The nature of the introduced error was basically this:
- Nothing must intervene between the menuconfig selection and the following conditional configuration otpions.
- A previous PR erroneously introduced unconditional options between the menuconfig and the following confditional logic, thus corrupting the driver menus.
This error was easy to make because the driver Kconfig files were not well modularized. Making them fully self-contained should eliminate this kind of error in the future.
* Simplify EINTR/ECANCEL error handling
1. Add semaphore uninterruptible wait function
2 .Replace semaphore wait loop with a single uninterruptible wait
3. Replace all sem_xxx to nxsem_xxx
* Unify the void cast usage
1. Remove void cast for function because many place ignore the returned value witout cast
2. Replace void cast for variable with UNUSED macro
sched/: Convert legitimate uses of task_create() to nxtask_create(). Review handling of returned values from all uses of kthread_create() (as well as nxtask_create()).
graphics/: Review return values for all calls to kthread_start() because it no longer returns an errno.
drivers/: threads started by drivers should be kernel threads, not user tasks. Review return values for all calls to kthread_start() because it no longer returns an errno.
configs/: threads started by board bringup logic should be kernel threads, not user tasksi (part 2 of 2).
sched/task: Add nxtask_create(). Kthread_create() and nxtask_create() are internal OS functions and should not modify the errno variable. configs/: threads started by board bringup logic should be kernel threads, not user tasks.
Squashed commit of the following:
Change all calls to usleep() in the OS proper to calls to nxsig_usleep()
sched/signal: Add a new OS internal function nxsig_usleep() that is functionally equivalent to usleep() but does not cause a cancellaption point and does not modify the errno variable.
sched/signal: Add a new OS internal function nxsig_sleep() that is functionally equivalent to sleep() but does not cause a cancellaption point.
