Update storage example docs so FATFS getting_started and wear_levelling
are clearly distinct, refresh the storage index paths, and add
"When to use this example" sections across storage examples.
Before:
The cache won't be disabled when XIP on psram. But during flash
erasing/programming, read data will be courrupt.
When XIP in psram is enabled, the image is not mapped to the cache so
usually there will be no flash access. The only way to read from flash
is via the driver or use mmap. The driver has protection during erasing,
while th mmap region not.
Now:
Mmap APIs provide a flag to make mmap->unmap region mutually exclusive
to flash erase/programming when XIP from psram. SPI Flash write APIs
will benefit from this. When the flag is used, no concurrent access to
mapped region will happen while writing; otherwise the cache will be
disable to avoid data corruption.
Most ESP-IDF APIs calls mmap with this flag. As for users calling
mmap-like APIs directly, they can choose whether to enable this by a
flag.

Add a new CMake function esp_partition_flash_binary() that provides a
unified API for registering partition data binaries to be flashed. It
replaces the direct esptool_py_flash_target calls scattered across
components (spiffs, fatfs, nvs_flash) with a single function that:
- Resolves partition offset from the partition table automatically
- Determines encryption requirements (auto-detect or ALWAYS_PLAINTEXT)
- Creates per-partition flash targets (e.g. idf.py <partition>-flash)
- Optionally includes the binary in `idf.py flash` via FLASH_IN_PROJECT
On the linux target, the function registers binaries for pre-loading
into the emulated flash. A build-time manifest (linux_flash_data.txt)
is generated via file(GENERATE), and partition_linux.c reads it at
runtime to copy each binary into the memory-mapped flash buffer at
the correct offset.
The partition_ops example is updated to use the new function and
includes a custom_partition with pre-built data to demonstrate the
full workflow, including on the linux target.
This commit reorganizes SPI flash header files to better reflect their
visibility and intended usage:
1. Rename `esp_flash_port/` to `esp_flash_chips/`:
- Better reflects that these headers are for chip driver implementations
- All chip driver headers moved to `esp_flash_chips/` directory
- Added README.md explaining semi-public nature of these headers
2. Move internal headers to `esp_private/`:
- `esp_flash_internal.h` -> `esp_private/esp_flash_internal.h`
- `memspi_host_driver.h` -> `esp_private/memspi_host_driver.h`
3. Move chip driver related headers to `esp_flash_chips/`:
- `esp_private/esp_flash_types.h` -> `esp_flash_chips/esp_flash_types.h`
- `spi_flash/spi_flash_defs.h` -> `esp_flash_chips/spi_flash_defs.h`
- `spi_flash_override.h` -> `esp_flash_chips/spi_flash_override.h`
- All `spi_flash_chip_*.h` headers moved to `esp_flash_chips/`
4. Code improvements:
- Remove unused includes (e.g., `spi_flash_override.h` from `cache_utils.c`)
- Use public API `esp_flash_get_size()` instead of direct member access
- Add `esp_flash_is_quad_mode` to linker.lf for IRAM placement
5. Documentation updates:
- Add README.md in `esp_flash_chips/` explaining semi-public headers
- Update programming guide with warnings about internal headers
- Update both English and Chinese documentation
6. Update all references across the codebase:
- Update includes in `spi_flash` component
- Update `bootloader_support`, `app_update`, `esp_tee`, `espcoredump`
- Update example projects
Breaking changes:
- Headers moved to new locations require include path updates
- `custom_flash_driver` example temporarily disabled until external
components are updated
