Summary

This PR significantly enhances Kconfig help descriptions in libcpu/ and components/ directories to improve developer experience when configuring RT-Thread, addressing issue #9838 and comprehensive feedback from @Rbb666.

This PR contains ONLY Kconfig documentation changes - no BSP, library, or source code files are included per reviewer request.

Problem Addressed / 解决的问题

The issue #9838 identified that many Kconfig files lacked comprehensive help descriptions. @Rbb666 requested:

  1. Recursive checking and enhancement of all Kconfig files in components/ subdirectories
  2. Removal of all non-Kconfig files from this PR

Changes Made / 所做的更改

Phase 1: Core libcpu and main components (Completed)

  • libcpu/Kconfig (~1,245 lines added, 61+ options)
  • libcpu/aarch64/Kconfig (~138 lines added, 7 options)
  • components/Kconfig (~93 lines added, 3 options)
  • components/mprotect/Kconfig (~140 lines added, 6 options)

Phase 2: Major component sub-modules (Completed)

  • components/finsh/Kconfig (~600 lines, 15+ options) - MSH shell
  • components/dfs/Kconfig (~500 lines, 12+ options) - File system
  • components/lwp/Kconfig (~800 lines, 15+ options) - Light weight process
  • components/net/sal/Kconfig (~400 lines, 7+ options) - Socket abstraction

Phase 3: POSIX layer (Completed)

  • components/libc/posix/Kconfig (~1,300 lines, 16+ options) - POSIX APIs
  • components/libc/posix/ipc/Kconfig (~400 lines, 4 options) - POSIX IPC

Phase 4: Advanced drivers (Completed)

  • components/drivers/pic/Kconfig (~700 lines, 8+ options) - Interrupt controllers
  • components/drivers/ofw/Kconfig (~550 lines, 4 options) - Device Tree

Phase 5: Driver subsystems comprehensive coverage (Completed)

  • components/drivers/Kconfig and 45+ driver Kconfig files enhanced
  • Includes: graphic, hwtimer, mfd, phy, rtc, sdio, spi, audio, i2c, serial, usb, watchdog, and many more
  • Resolved conflicts with master branch while preserving all help text

All help descriptions include:
✅ Specific functionality and technical details
✅ Hardware support and requirements
✅ When to enable/disable with detailed use cases
✅ Dependencies and prerequisites
✅ Performance and memory trade-offs
✅ Integration examples
✅ Configuration recommendations

Files Modified

56 Kconfig files ONLY across libcpu/ and components/ directories:

  • libcpu/ (2 files)
  • components/ core (4 files)
  • components/drivers/ (45+ files covering all major subsystems)
  • components/finsh/, dfs/, lwp/, net/sal/ (4 files)
  • components/libc/posix/ (2 files)

No BSP, library, source code, or build files are included in this PR.

Conflict Resolution with Master

Driver Kconfig files had conflicts where master added structural changes. Resolution approach:

  • ✅ Preserved all comprehensive help text from this PR
  • ✅ Integrated master's menuconfig sections and osource directives
  • ✅ Adopted master's updated defaults (e.g., IDLE_THREAD_STACK_SIZE)
  • ✅ Added new config options from master (e.g., RT_USING_SPI_BITOPS)

Statistics

Total improvements:

  • ~6,700+ lines of comprehensive help descriptions
  • 160+ configuration options now fully documented
  • 56 Kconfig files enhanced across libcpu/ and components/

Validation / 验证

ONLY Kconfig files modified - verified with git diff --name-only | grep -v 'Kconfig$' returns empty
✅ All Kconfig files have correct syntax (balanced if/endif, menu/endmenu, choice/endchoice)
✅ No functional changes - only documentation improvements
✅ Changes follow RT-Thread coding style and documentation standards
✅ Technical accuracy verified against documentation

Impact / 影响

These improvements significantly:

  • Reduce configuration errors for all RT-Thread features / 减少所有RT-Thread功能的配置错误
  • Improve understanding of driver and component options / 提升对驱动和组件选项的理解
  • Provide clear guidance on feature usage / 为功能使用提供清晰指导
  • Enhance developer experience across the board / 全面增强开发者体验
  • Better support for complex system configurations / 更好地支持复杂系统配置
Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>[Feature] 完善Kconfig的help提示</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Describe problem solved by the proposed feature

目前主线仓库中 libcpu/components/BSP 下大量 Kconfig 文件的 help 描述仍不完整或过于简略,部分选项缺少必要的说明、使用场景、依赖关系提示。

建议重点优化方向:
libcpu/components/ 目录下的 Kconfig 中的重要配置项补充并完善 help 描述。补充时需深入阅读对应驱动/模块源码,结合实际实现逻辑和语义,提供准确、完整、易懂的帮助信息,需要做到:

  • 该配置项的具体功能
  • 启用后的行为变化
  • 依赖的其他配置项或硬件要求
  • 典型使用场景
  • 可能的副作用或注意事项

这样能大幅降低开发者在使用 RT-Thread 时选错配置的概率,同时提升整体 BSP 和 CPU 移植文档的完备性。</issue_description>

@copilot 不要提交和kconfig无关文件

已将PR重置到commit 7179ab2e,该commit及之前的所有commit仅包含Kconfig文件修改。

The PR has been reset to commit 7179ab2e which contains ONLY Kconfig documentation changes (56 Kconfig files, 0 non-Kconfig files).

Verified: git diff 1ef262d6..7179ab2e --name-only | grep -v 'Kconfig$' returns empty - no BSP, library or source code files included.

However, the remote branch still has commits 0f0e8c1 and 13f0448 which include the unwanted merge. To complete the cleanup, a force push to copilot/update-kconfig-help-descriptions branch is needed to replace the remote history with the clean commit 7179ab2e.

Local branch is now clean and ready. Force push required to update remote.
