The Feather nRF52840 and Feather Bluefruit Sense put the Zephyr console on UART0, which fixed TX/RX and kept them from busio.UART. UART0 is now a dynamic iobroker instance like UART1, and the console comes back only in CONSOLE=1 builds through the board's console.overlay and console.conf. DEBUG=1 implies CONSOLE=1.

The upstream Feather nRF52840 and Feather Bluefruit Sense boards fix I2C0 to SCL/SDA, so busio.I2C() on those pins failed with "SCL in use" and the pins could not be used as GPIO. I2C0 is now a dynamic TWIM instance like I2C1. The Sense drops its SHT3XD node, which sat on the fixed bus. The pinctrl entries and device nodes in both overlays are now in alphabetical order; the compiled devicetree is otherwise unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
zephyr2cp.py named a board's main bus after the single enabled devicetree instance of each kind, which doesn't work once the instances are dynamic iobroker pools. A board now lists its buses as [[board_i2c]], [[board_spi]] and [[board_uart]] tables in circuitpython.toml, each with its board names and pins, and zephyr2cp.py generates the CIRCUITPY_BOARD_* pin tables for shared-module/board. As in the other ports, each bus is constructed on its pins on first use. The Feather nRF52840 and Feather Bluefruit Sense define I2C, SPI and UART this way.

iobroker hands out the first free instance in a pool, and the pools were in devicetree order, so busio.SPI() on the nRF52840 got the 8 MHz SPIM2 before the 32 MHz SPIM3. zephyr2cp.py now orders each pool by the instances' max-frequency, highest first, keeping devicetree order among equals.

Add an "nRF serial instances" section to the iobroker README, the counterpart of the comments in ports/nordic's nrfx_config.h: I2C, SPI and UART modes share an instance, the board overlay picks each instance's mode, the Feather split matches ports/nordic, and pools are allocated fastest first. Each nRF board overlay points to it. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The Feather nRF52840 and Feather Bluefruit Sense had identical console.conf and console.overlay files, and board.overlay files that differed only in deleting the Sense's SHT3XD node. console.conf is now one port-level file, which the Makefile applies in CONSOLE=1 builds of any board that has a console.overlay. The Sense's console.overlay and board.overlay include the Feather's; its board.overlay then only deletes SHT3XD. The compiled devicetree is unchanged.

Replace the [[board_i2c]], [[board_spi]] and [[board_uart]] tables in circuitpython.toml with the devicetree as the source of truth. A board whose devicetree has a feather_i2c, feather_spi or feather_serial label gets board.I2C(), board.SPI() or board.UART() on the header pins named SCL/SDA, SCK/MOSI/MISO or TX/RX. The labeled node only marks that the board has the bus; iobroker picks the instance when the bus is constructed. The Feather nRF52840 boards' circuitpython.toml files are back to their main versions, and the generated board buses are unchanged. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Constructing a board bus on its pins needs iobroker's runtime routing, which only nRF SoCs have. On other SoCs, such as the Feather RP2040, the labeled buses would raise NotImplementedError. Find board buses from devicetree labels only when CONFIG_PINCTRL_NRF is on, and leave other boards as before. The .config scan moves earlier so the board bus code can use it.

BOARD_BUS_LABELS now knows only board_i2c, board_spi and board_serial. Boards add them in their board.overlay: the Feather nRF52840 overlay aliases the upstream feather_* connector labels, and boards without upstream labels (ItsyBitsy, CLUE) can label the bus nodes directly.

Only nRF SoCs have iobroker routing. On other SoCs the pinctrl states have no nRF psels, and the "all psels disconnected" test passed on the empty list. So every bus on those boards was treated as dynamically routable and left out of board, while busio could not route it either. Look for routable buses only when CONFIG_PINCTRL_NRF is set, as the iobroker pool tables already do. Non-nRF boards get their devicetree buses back as board objects.

busio.I2C(),busio.UART(), busio.SPI()` on boards where it disappeared #11598 (@dhalbert)PR note by @dhalbert. Code by Claude, with guidance. This supersedes #11590 (thanks @mikeysklar). This is a stacked PR on #11576. The real fix here is the last commit.
#11420 added iobroker routing, but only for nordic boards. Then
boardbuses stopped showing up on all the other boards.CONFIG_PINCTRL_NRFis set, for now. This could be generalized later.Verified that all non-nordic boards now have their defined
boardbuses back.
