Linux offers the high-level i2c-dev driver to directly access the
i2c bus(ses) on the system. This system device is used to get rid
of the (rather silly) radio chip kernel module for ypr0 target and
correctly enables radio access also for the ypr1 target.
fm-radio chip is located on i2c-0 bus on the ypr0 target while it
is located on i2c-1 bus on the ypr1 target.
Power-up (RST) pin is also handled for both targets, which is wired
to another GPIO of the i.MX 37 platform.
Additionally, this patch simplifies the RDS low-level handling by
exploiting the Si4709 debug interface which comes with a mutex
protection as free bonus.

The GPIO APIs for ypr0 and ypr1 targets was messy, requiring a
direct communication via several ioctls calls.
Since it is planned to add support to other devices, more GPIO are
going to be used. For that reason the functions shall be clear and
easy to use.

Some people reported strange charging times and
strange battery life.
Charging by OF: 25 hours; RB: 18 hours
It has been found that there are at least two issues here:
1) the way of getting battery charging status wasn't
really accurate. This attempts to fix that issue.
This patch also simplifies some code (opening a
device is no more needed, for example).
To technically explain, battery charging implies first a constant
current mode (where the voltage increases) and then a constant
voltage mode (where, obviously, the voltage reads more or less
the same). The old way the End Of Charge was detected was based solely
on the voltage, while now it is based on chip's EOC interrupt,
which should be more accurate.
2) OF explicitly sets a constant current 350 mA, while we usually had
55 mA (by as3543 default).
This wasn't discovered before since there is a caching problem
("an accurate guess") in the Samsung power mgmt Linux module,
thus its debugging dumper wasn't really working, reporting a 55 mA current.
Strangely this option should have been set by the bootloader
but apparently it does not.
Some testing is still needed, but I confirm that with this patch
I could run a benchmark for 25 hours (vs. 18 hours), by charging
within Rockbox of course.

A thread polls the appropriate GPIO pin for sd card presence and mounts
using the mount system call.

CONFIG_STORAGE & STORAGE_HOSTFS allows to use parts of the storage_* API to be
compiled for application targets without compiling storage.c or performing
actually raw storage access. This is primarily to enable application targets to
implement HAVE_MULTIVOMULE/HAVE_HOTSWAP (in a later commit).
SIMULATOR uses the same mechanism without explicitely defining STORAGE_HOSTFS
(how to add a bit to an existing preprocessor token?).

This patch includes some refactoring:
- renaming according to Rockbox guidelines
- GPIO code merging, still with target defines
- some simplification in firmware/SOURCES

This is the basic port to the new target Samsung
YP-R1, which runs on a similar platform as YP-R0.
Port is usable, although there are still
some optimizations that have to be done.

This patch adds to YP-R0 (and other future targets using Linux
framebuffer) the ability to use LCD_ENABLE to save some CPU cycles
while display is powered off.
This patch also changes the way to toggle LCD power: now using
a proper ioctl call, slightly more efficient.

As per title this patch aims at splitting common target
code and specific target code in a better way to
support future ports within the same environment
(e.g. Samsung YP-R1 where the Linux and the SoC
are the same, with differences in hardware devices
handling)
