Marco Casaroli dcca85d0a6 rp23xx: Add external QSPI PSRAM (APS6404) support for the Pimoroni Pico Plus 2.
Adds a driver for the external QSPI PSRAM hanging off QMI chip select 1,
such as the 8 MiB APS6404 fitted on the Pimoroni Pico Plus 2.

rp23xx_psramconfig() assigns the CS1 pin, reads the device ID over the QMI
direct interface to confirm an APS6404-family part (KGD 0x5D), resets it
into quad mode and programs the QMI M1 timing/read/write formats so the
region at 0x11000000 becomes directly addressable and writable.  Because
driving the QMI in direct mode stalls execute-in-place from the flash, the
detection and (re)configuration code runs from RAM (.time_critical) with
interrupts disabled; the command bytes are selected with immediates rather
than a .rodata table for the same reason.  The register values follow the
Raspberry Pi Pico SDK setup_psram().

The detection routine only keeps the QMI DIRECT_CSR synchronization that is
strictly necessary.  Each candidate busy-wait was removed one at a time and
re-verified on hardware: the post-enable "cooldown" waits, the READ_ID
TXEMPTY wait (redundant with the BUSY wait after it), and a fixed nop delay
proved unnecessary and are omitted.  The three BUSY waits that remain -- after
the quad-mode nudge, after each READ_ID byte, and after each reset/quad-enable
command -- are required and carry a comment explaining that the frame must
finish shifting before the chip select is deasserted, and what breaks
otherwise (garbage ID reads, or the shared QMI bus wedging).

rp23xx_psram_restore() re-applies the M1 configuration and is meant to be
called from the flash write path, which goes through the bootrom and
reconfigures the shared QMI for chip select 0.

rp23xx_heaps.c is wired into the build and now uses the detected size, so
the PSRAM is exposed to the memory manager (added to the main heap, used as
a separate heap, or as the user heap) and is skipped cleanly when no PSRAM
is present.

Enabled by default on the pimoroni-pico-2-plus:nsh configuration, where it
adds the 8 MiB to the main heap.  A documentation page for the Pimoroni Pico
Plus 2 is added alongside the other rp23xx boards, covering its serial
console, LED, the external PSRAM and how it is exposed to the heap, the
supported capabilities and the available configurations, with a photo of the
board.

Tested on Pimoroni Pico Plus 2 hardware: detection reports the 8 MiB
APS6404, the region is read/write across its whole range (ramtest word,
half-word and byte passes, marching/pattern/address-in-address), and the
heap reports the extra 8 MiB.
