include/nuttx/fs/nxffs.h: Needs forward reference to struct mtd_dev_s and needs to include stdbool.h

dma2d: fix an error in up_dma2dcreatelayer where an invalid pointer was returned when a certain underlying function failed.

More fixed related to name changes from CONFIG_WL_MFRC522 to CONFIG_CL_MFRC522.  Also depends on CONFIG_CONTACTLESS. not CONFIG_WIRELESS.

configs/stm32l476-mdk/nsh: Remove CONFIG_CXX_INITIALIZE.  up_cxxinitialize is not provided in apps/platfor for this board.

configs/olimex-stm32-e407: Add some networking configurations

Master l4 usbfix

Add support for qencoders on various nucleo boards

Add support for quadrature encoders on STM32L4, including gpio definitions for both directions of timer channels.

sched/pthread and task:  When a pthread is started, there is a small bit of logic that will run on the thread of execution of the new pthread.  In the case where the new pthread has a lower priority than the parent thread, then this could cause both the parent thread and the new pthread to be blocked at the priority of the lower priority pthread (assuming that CONFIG_PRIORITY_INHERITANCE is not selected).

This change temporarily boosts the priority of the new pthread to at least the priority of the new pthread to at least the priority of the parent thread.  When that bit of logic has executed on the thread of execution of the new pthread, it will then drop to the correct priority (if necessary) before calling into the new pthread's entry point.

There are some small problems in LPC43xx RS485 mode configuration. In particular: 1. UART0,2,3 do not have DTR pins (different from UART1), so, Kconfig needs to be adjusted. 2. lpc43_uart.c in RS485 mode only configures DIR pin, but doesn't enable pin output for UART0,2,3. 3. should be option to reverse DIR control pin output polarity. 4. lpc43xx/chip/lpc43_uart.h doesn't have USART3 definitions.  NOTE: I didn't modified and didn't tested USART1, as it has different hardware.  From Vytautas Lukenskas.

Add a new ioctl command (set MAXPOS) for tiva QEI

Fix calculations using MSEC_PER_TICK.  If USEC_PER_TICK is less than 1000, then MSEC_PER_TICK will be zero.  It will be inaccurate in any case.

libnx/nxglib: Fix handling of near-horizontal lines of width 1 in nxgl_splitline().  Missing handling for degenerate condition caused width 1 lines such as (0, 0) - (100, 10) to have gaps in the drawing.
