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.

+Pimoroni Pico Plus 2
+===============================
+
+.. tags:: chip:rp2350
+
+The `Pimoroni Pico Plus 2
<https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/pimoroni-pico-plus-2>`_
+is an RP2350B based board in the Raspberry Pi Pico form factor, with a
+USB-C connector, a large 16 MiB of flash and 8 MiB of external QSPI PSRAM.
+
+.. figure:: pico-plus-2.jpg
+ :align: center
+
+Features
+========
+
+* RP2350B microcontroller chip (QFN-80 variant)
+* Dual-core Arm Cortex-M33 processor running up to 150 MHz
+* 520 KiB of internal SRAM
+* 16 MiB of on-board QSPI flash memory
+* 8 MiB of on-board QSPI PSRAM (APS6404) on chip select 1
+* USB-C connector, USB 1.1 host and device support
+* Qwiic / STEMMA QT (I2C) connector
+* SP/CE debug and expansion connectors
+* Reset and BOOTSEL buttons
+* 48 multi-function GPIO pins broken out on castellated and through-hole pads
+* Drag & drop programming using mass storage over USB
+* 12 Programmable IO (PIO) state machines for custom peripheral support
+
+Serial Console
+==============
+
+By default a serial console appears on GPIO0 (TX) and GPIO1 (RX). This
+console runs at 115200-8N1.
+
+The board can be configured to use the USB connection as the serial console.
+See the ``usbnsh`` configuration.
+
+Buttons and LEDs
+================
+
+The user LED is controlled by GPIO25 and is configured as autoled by default.
+
+A BOOTSEL button, which if held down when power is first applied to the board,
+will cause the RP2350 to boot into programming mode and appear as a storage
+device to the computer connected via USB. Saving a ``.uf2`` file to this
+device will replace the flash contents. A separate RESET button is also
+provided.
+
+PSRAM
+=====
+
+The distinguishing feature of the Pimoroni Pico Plus 2 is the 8 MiB of
+external QSPI PSRAM (an APS6404 part) hanging off the QMI on chip select 1
+(GPIO47). NuttX detects the PSRAM at boot, switches it to quad mode and
+maps it read/write at ``0x11000000``.
+
+PSRAM support is enabled by default in the ``nsh`` configuration
+(``CONFIG_RP23XX_PSRAM``), which adds the 8 MiB to the main heap. The
+chip select pin is configured with ``CONFIG_RP23XX_PSRAM_CS1_GPIO`` (47 on
+this board) and the way the PSRAM is exposed to the memory manager (single
+heap, separate heap, or user heap) is selectable. See the
+:doc:`RP23xx PSRAM section <../../index>` for the details of each mode.
+
+.. note::
+
+ The PSRAM is considerably slower than the internal SRAM. The QMI is
+ shared with the flash: writing to the flash goes through the bootrom,
+ which reconfigures the QMI for chip select 0 and disturbs the PSRAM
+ configuration on chip select 1. ``rp23xx_psram_restore()`` re-applies it
+ and is intended to be called from the flash write path after each erase or
+ program.
+
+Supported Capabilities
+======================
+
+NuttX supports the following Pico Plus 2 capabilities:
+
+* UART (console port)
+
+ * GPIO 0 (UART0 TX) and GPIO 1 (UART0 RX) are used for the console.
+
+* External QSPI PSRAM (8 MiB)
+* I2C
+* SPI (master only)
+* DMAC
+* PWM
+* ADC
+* Watchdog
+* USB device
+
+ * MSC, CDC/ACM serial and composite devices are supported.
+ * CDC/ACM serial device can be used for the console.
+
+* PIO (RP2350 Programmable I/O)
+* Flash ROM Boot
+* SRAM Boot
+
+ * If the Pico SDK is available, a ``nuttx.uf2`` file which can be used in
+ BOOTSEL mode will be created.
+
+* Persistent flash filesystem in unused flash ROM
+
+Installation
+============
+
+1. Download and install the toolchain and, optionally, the Raspberry Pi
+ Pico SDK (needed to generate the ``nuttx.uf2`` image).
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ git clone -b 2.2.0 --recurse-submodules
https://github.com/raspberrypi/pico-sdk.git
+ $ export PICO_SDK_PATH=<absolute_path_to_pico-sdk_directory>
+
+2. Configure and build NuttX
+
+.. code-block:: console
+
+ $ git clone https://github.com/apache/nuttx.git nuttx
+ $ git clone https://github.com/apache/nuttx-apps.git apps
+ $ cd nuttx
+ $ make distclean
+ $ ./tools/configure.sh pimoroni-pico-2-plus:nsh
+ $ make V=1
+
+3. Connect the board to the USB port while pressing BOOTSEL. The board will
+ be detected as a USB Mass Storage Device. Then copy ``nuttx.uf2`` into
+ the device (the same way as standard Pico SDK applications).
+
+4. To access the console, connect GPIO 0 and 1 to a device such as a
+ USB-serial converter, or use the ``usbnsh`` configuration for a console
+ over USB CDC/ACM.
+
+Configurations
+==============
+
+nsh
+---
+
+Basic NuttShell configuration (console enabled on UART0, at 115200 bps) with
+the external PSRAM added to the main heap.
+
+usbnsh
+------
