periph: remove dev_enums.h

[haukepetersen]

The drivers/include/periph/dev_enums.h file was introduced for backwards compatibility when we changed the style of doing the board configuration in periph_conf.h some time ago. Most of the periph drivers are remodeled by now, though some are open. Except the i2c drivers, which will be remodeled while reworking the complete interface, the following drivers need adaption:

timer:

• samd21
• saml21 (best to unify these two into sam0_common in the same process)
• lm4f120
• lpc1768

uart:

• cc2538
• lm4f120
• lpc1768

I did not really check the open PRs though, so there might be a fix for some of the mentioned in the pipeline already. Please check before starting to work on any of these...

No fixes in open PRs that I can see. Related open PRs are as follows:

• boards: move shared code to boards/common/xx #8058 - some info on sam0_common
• timer: remove usage of TIMER_X_MAX_VALUE #7694 - affects lm4f120 timer driver
• cpu, cc2538: adapt periph uart to GPIO API #7310 - affects cc2538 UART driver

I'll read these before starting work on the relevant driver.

I think I also need to change the periph_conf files for the boards that have the above cpus on them. Will include the changes for those in the PR I submit for each cpu peripheral.

These are:

cc2538:

• openmote-cc2538
• cc2538dk

Yes, you will certainly :-)

[danpetry]

@haukepetersen there are aliases for UART_X called UART_X_DEV in the cc2538 driver. I can't see any functional purpose that they serve, but am I missing something? Can they be taken out, i.e. replaced with just UART_X?

[danpetry]

@smlng for the 2538, are the above boards the only ones with this CPU? Also, would you mind testing the changes for the other boards once I've made them? (I only have the openmote at the moment).

[danpetry]

Note for reviewer: now that I've removed the switch/case statement, device numbers outside the ones actually implemented can be used. They won't be caught by the default statement as before, and there's no value restriction on uart_t. What would be the effect of this?

[MrKevinWeiss]

Just FYI I am working on updating the uart config for the lm4f120 based off @danpetry work.

[MrKevinWeiss]

I think I will work on the UART for the lpc1768 next. There are some shared files that #6472 is working on but it seems to be in different sections.
