The Compass library is initialized before the InertialSensor. AK8963 with
MPU9250 as backend already takes care of resetting MPU9250. The problem with
also resetting it in the MPU9250 initialization code is that if the reset
happens during an internal I2C transaction, the AK8963 may hang. So here we
remove the reset inside MPU9250. There still a possibility that the first
MPU9250 initialization is not successful and it resets the chip, but it's not
happening in tests.

The value for LINUX_STORAGE_SIZE was defined inconsistently against the one
defined for Linux boards in HAL_STORAGE_SIZE. That led to some values not
being written to the storage when running the test binary built at
libraries/StorageManager/examples/StorageTest.
As we intend to eventually get board related parameters from a configuration
file, this commit makes the GPIO numbers for data-ready pins be instance
variables instead of from C constant macros.
Another advantage of using instance variables in this context is the
possibility of using more than one LSM9DS0.
If the data-ready polling is done entirely on GPIO pins, it isn't necessary to
hold the semaphore before we now we have data to consume. In that case, only
take the SPI semaphore if there's new data available.
On the other hand, if at least one SPI transaction is done in order to check
for new data, then it makes sense to take the semaphore beforehand.
This commit makes accel and gyro initialization routines use bitfield macros
instead of hardcoding the literal value when wrinting on registers. That is
less prone to typos and a lot of times self-explanatory. Also, due to the
latter, the long comments explaining each register field were removed (any
detail can be checked on the datasheet).
This adds the backend driver for LSM9DS0. This implementation is based on the
legacy driver coded by Víctor Mayoral Vilches (under folder LSM9DS0) and makes
some necessary adaptations and fixes in order to work properly. The legacy
driver folder was removed.
The calibration on LSM9DS0 was giving offsets between 4.0 and 4.2 on x-axis and
around 3.6 on y-axis. It turned out that those offsets were actually right.
The maximum absolute values of calibration offset should be a sensor
characteristic rather than a constant value for all sensors.
The constant value previously used (3.5 m/s/s for all axes) is set here as a
default maximum absolute calibration offset for every instance to keep it
working.
