Using the string template to determine the size of the array to print
into strikes issues as varargs passes the stack variables as integer
types, so the perceived range is larger.
This should at most be behind a flag. If the device is being used by
other process/drivers, it's a problem with that specific user/distro:
don't penalize everybody else. Besides, changing the mode is not atomic
and nothing guarantees the other side doesn't get scheduled and change
it back before we get to run.
Do not create one thread per chardev (i.e. bus + kernel's chip select).
Since the shared resources are actually the bus controller and the bus
lines, it makes sense to have 1 thread per bus, otherwise it will just
get locked again on the mutex in the kernel side.
Minlure is a port of ArduPilot to Minnow Board connected to daughter
board. Very few of those were produced and nobody is flying with it.
It served its purpose and all the the improvements to ArduPilot remain
regardless of it not being supported anymore. Now it's just adding
maintenance work with no clear benefit, so pull the plug.
It's not being sold, there are just a few (different) engineering
samples built and there are no plans for this to go forward for people
that were pushing it.

Define a dummy device to remove warning.
The way this code is structured is a little bit different from the
SPIDriver implementation:
- We only open the bus once, no matter how many devices we have in it
- There's a single transfer() method which uses half-duplex mode
instead of full duplex. The reason is that for all cases in the
codebase we are using half-duplex transfers using the full-duplex
API, i.e. a single SPI msg with both tx and rx buffers. This is
cumbersome because the buffers need to be of the same size and the
receive buffer using an offset of the same length as the actux data
being written. This means the high level APIs need to copy buffers
around.
If later we have uses for a real full duplex case it's just a matter
of adding another transfer_fullduplex() method or something like
this.
- The methods are implemented in the SPIDevice class instead of having
proxy methods to SPIDeviceManager as is the case of SPIDriver
Also from now on we refer to the SPIDriver objects as "descriptors"
because they have the parameters of each device in the
SPIDeviceManager::devices[] table. When SPIDeviceDriver is completely
replaced we can rename them to SPIDeviceProperties.
