Nuttx currently has 2 types of sleep interfaces:
1. Signal-scheduled sleep: nxsig_sleep() / nxsig_usleep() / nxsig_nanosleep()
Weaknesses:
a. Signal-dependent: The signal-scheduled sleep method is bound to the signal framework, while some driver sleep operations do not depend on signals.
b. Timespec conversion: Signal-scheduled sleep involves timespec conversion, which has a significant impact on performance.
2. Busy sleep: up_mdelay() / up_udelay()
Weaknesses:
a. Does not actively trigger scheduling, occupy the CPU loading.
3. New interfaces: Scheduled sleep: nxsched_sleep() / nxsched_usleep() / nxsched_msleep() / nxsched_ticksleep()
Strengths:
a. Does not depend on the signal framework.
b. Tick-based, without additional computational overhead.
Currently, the Nuttx driver framework extensively uses nxsig_* interfaces. However, the driver does not need to rely on signals or timespec conversion.
Therefore, a new set of APIs is added to reduce dependencies on other modules.
(This PR also aims to make signals optional, further reducing the code size of Nuttx.)

clock_systime_timespec() always returns 0, so there is no need to
check the return value in the caller code, let us remove the return
value directly.

This is a supplement to the patch:1936126210a56b6d1b033d6d940669413dd6e1b0
Due to the automatic wrapping of MTD devices during the
open() process, the legacy registration methods
ftl_initialize() and bchdev_register() are no longer
required for MTD device registration for user code.
So we have adjusted the registration method for MTD devices
in nuttx/boards, replacing the previous approach using
ftl_initialize() with register_mtddriver().

svc call may trigger hardfault
Background
The origin of this issue is our desire to eliminate the function of storing
"regs" in g_current_regs and instead utilize (*running_task)->xcp.regs for storage.
The benefits of this approach include faster storage speed and
avoiding multiple accesses to g_current_regs during context switching,
thus ensuring that whether returning from an interrupt or an exception,
we consistently use this_task()->xcp.regs
Issue Encountered
However, when storing registers, we must ensure that (running_task)->xcp.regs is invalid
so that it can be safely overwritten.
According to the existing logic, the only scenario where (running_task)->xcp.regs
is valid is during restore_context. We must accurately identify this scenario.
Initially, we used the condition (running_task)==NULL for this purpose, but we deemed
this approach unsatisfactory as it did not align well with the actual logic.
(running_task) should not be NULL. Consequently, we adopted other arch-specific methods for judgment,
but due to special logic in some arch, the judgment was not accurate, leading to this issue.
Solution:
For armv6-m, we haven't found a more suitable solution, so we are sticking with (*running_task)==NULL.
For armv7-m/armv8-m, by removing support for primask, we can achieve accurate judgment.
PRIMASK is a design in armv6-m, that's why arm introduce BASEPRI from armv7-m.
It's wrong to provide this option for armv7-m/armv8-m arch.

reason:
up_set_current_regs initially had two functions:
1: To mark the entry into an interrupt state.
2: To record the context before an interrupt/exception. If we switch to
a new task, we need to store the upcoming context regs by calling up_set_current_regs(regs).
Currently, we record the context in other ways, so the second function is obsolete.
Therefore, we need to rename up_set_current_regs to better reflect its actual meaning,
which is solely to mark an interrupt.

reason:
1 On different architectures, we can utilize more optimized strategies
to implement up_current_regs/up_set_current_regs.
eg. use interrupt registersor percpu registers.

As long as the GNSS feature is not used, GNSS RAM can be used as general memory.
This memory is 640KByte total, which is lower performance than the application RAM.
It is possible to locate text, data and bss into GNSS RAM and to use as heap area.
Since there were some cases in which the current modem reset
sequence did not reset the modem, the reset was ensured by
executing power off and power on of the modem.
- migrated /README are removed from /boards
- there are a lot of READMEs that should be further converted to rst.
At the moment they are moved to Documentation/platforms and included in rst files
