Serial Memory Library Release Notes

Provides functions for interacting with an external memory connected through its Single/Dual/Quad/Octal SPI interface.

APIs for Read/Write/Erase operations
Supports Execute-in-Place (XIP) mode of operation
Accepts the configuration generated by the QSPI Configurator tool
Allows for providing information to the programming tool to program the external memory.

Renamed library from serial-flash to serial-memory. All APIs were renamed from cy_serial_flash_* to mtb_serial_memory_* and all macros were prefaced with MTB_SERIAL_MEMORY_* .

Added support for CAT1C devices.
Switched driver from PDL functions call to corresponding HAL calls, where it is possible.

Added the following functions:
- cy_serial_flash_qspi_read_async() - Supports asynchronous (non-blocking) read using fixed DMA resources. Refer to the API reference manual for details on the list of devices supported for DMA operation and the exact DMA resources used.
- cy_serial_flash_qspi_abort_read() - Aborts an ongoing asynchronous read operation
- cy_serial_flash_qspi_set_dma_interrupt_priority() - Changes the DMA interrupt priority
Implemented thread-safety for use with multi-threaded RTOS environment using the abstraction-rtos library
- Add DEFINES=CY_SERIAL_FLASH_QSPI_THREAD_SAFE in the Makefile to enable thread-safety
Updated cy_serial_flash_qspi_get_erase_size() to support memories with hybrid sectors

Added new function cy_serial_flash_qspi_get_prog_size() to get the programming size
