This is a defensive change to make the transceiver code easier to reason
about, and to avoid the possibility of races such as that seen in #1042.
Previously, set_transceiver_mode() was called in the vendor request
handler for the SET_TRANSCEIVER_MODE request, as well in the callback
for a USB configuration change. Both these calls are made from the USB0
ISR, so could interrupt the rx_mode(), tx_mode() and sweep_mode()
functions at any point. It was hard to tell if this was safe.
Instead, set_transceiver_mode() has been removed, and its work is split
into three parts:
- request_transceiver_mode(), which is safe to call from ISR context.
All this function does is update the requested mode and increment a
sequence number. This builds on work already done in PR #1029, but
the interface has been simplified to use a shared volatile structure.
- transceiver_startup(), which transitions the transceiver from an idle
state to the configuration required for a specific mode, including
setting up the RF path, configuring the M0, adjusting LEDs and UI etc.
- transceiver_shutdown(), which transitions the transceiver back to an
idle state.
The *_mode() functions that implement the transceiver modes now call
transceiver_startup() before starting work, and transceiver_shutdown()
before returning, and all this happens in the main thread of execution.
As such, it is now guaranteed that all the steps involved happen in a
consistent order, with the transceiver starting from an idle state, and
being returned to an idle state before control returns to the main loop.
For consistency of interface, an off_mode() function has been added to
implement the behaviour of the OFF transceiver mode. Since the
transceiver is already guaranteed to be in an idle state when this is
called, the only work required is to set the UI mode and wait for a new
mode request.
