RTEMS uC5282 BSP Issues

[Joel Sherrill via Tech-talk <tech-talk at aps.anl.gov>]

Hi

I wanted to let the EPICS community know of some issues specific to the uC5282 BSP and ask for help in getting them resolved.

I have been working on warnings reported while compiling GCC 14 on main. I am working on confirming if these uC5282 warnings were also flagged by GCC 13 and will update RTEMS tickets as I learn more. 

(1) Add support for std::atomic on Coldfire ISA A. This results in the uC5282 getting a linking error for spcxx01. This is https://gitlab.rtems.org/rtems/rtos/rtems/-/issues/5230 and that links to a GCC issue.

(2) uC5282 bspstart.c warnings for questionable code. There are warnings for how pointers are treated as arrays and accesses outside the array bounds result. The ticket is  https://gitlab.rtems.org/rtems/rtos/rtems/-/issues/5242

(3) uC5282 console.c has warnings for misleading indentation. This file has a mix of tabs and spaces. The area in question has a mix of tabs and spaces. I think converting to spaces will likely resolve this issue. RTEMS issue is https://gitlab.rtems.org/rtems/rtos/rtems/-/issues/5243

Help is appreciated especially as I don't have the hardware to test on and these look like warnings that fixing without testing could easily create a breakage.

Also if someone from the EPICS community can advocate for applying the fixes to the 6 branch if that looks necessary.

Thanks.
