Reduced Power Consumption is available for MR-O-QPSK and
MR-FSK.
In this mode the receiver will be turned off periodically,
defaulting to a 50% duty cycle.
This reduces power consumption when in IDLE RX by almost 50%
and is therefore enabled by default.
Replace direct accesses to sched_active_thread and sched_active_pid with
the helper functions thread_getpid() and thread_get_active(). This serves
two purposes:
1. It makes accidental writes to those variable from outside core less likely.
2. Casting off the volatile qualifier is now well contained to those two
functions
If the underlying driver implements 'plain' read/write/erase
fucntions, don't convert them to pagewise functions and back.
Just use the old direct functions.
The expandable GPIO API requires the comparison of structured GPIO types. This means that inline functions must be used instead of direct comparisons. For the migration process, drivers must first be changed so that they use the inline comparison functions.

This changes the prefixes of the symbols generated from USEMODULE and
USEPKG variables. The changes are as follow:
KCONFIG_MODULE_ => KCONFIG_USEMODULE_
KCONFIG_PKG_ => KCONFIG_USEPKG_
MODULE_ => USEMODULE_
PKG_ => USEPKG_
Do not generate address during reset, but during setup. Otherwise the device
will get a new address after every reset. Also: Use common IEEE 802.15.4
setup function for this.
The assert is reversed. It must check if the config value does not
exceed the maximum address length, not the other way round.
previously this would lead to a crash when setting a short address:
2020-08-23 13:59:56,080 # ifconfig 7 set addr_short 2
2020-08-23 13:59:56,081 # 0xdcad
2020-08-23 13:59:56,083 # *** RIOT kernel panic:
2020-08-23 13:59:56,085 # FAILED ASSERTION.
With this it works as expected
2020-08-23 14:05:07,988 # ifconfig 7 set addr_short 2
2020-08-23 14:05:07,992 # success: set (short) address on interface 7 to 2
SD cards are usually larger than 4 GiB, so using 32 bit addressing will
break once they are filled to a certain extend.
Implement read_page() and write_page() which at a page size of 512
should work for SD cards of up to 2 TiB.
The read() and write() functions will ignore any offset that is not aligned
with the page boundary, so do the same for the new functions, but at least
report an error.
Currently read(), write() and erase() all use 32 bit addressing.
This is a problem when writing to media > 4 GiB, e.g. SD cards.
The current implementation would wrap around after 4 GiB and corrupt data.
To avoid this, add functions to the MTD subsystem that allow for page-wise
addressing. This is how most of the underling storage drivers and the
file-systems above work anyway.
In the future we should then deprecate the 32-bit functions if all drivers
are converted.
