Early 6th gen ipods (80GB and 160GB "fat") are limited to LBA28
which results in a hard upper limit of 128GiB on the storage size.
The later 120GB model also shares this limitation. These are identified
by HwVr of 0x00130000 and 0x00130100, respectively.
The final revision of the iPod Classic series (160GB "thin") does not
have this limitation, and can be identified by a HwVr of 0x00130200 or
0x00130300.
This is strictly an issue with Apple's stock firmware, and not the
hardware, and Rockbox will happily utilize the full capabiltiies of any
installed storage device. Unfortunately, if you boot into the stock
Apple firmware, said firmware will destructively trash the partition
table and filesystem.
Consequently, the Rockbox bootloader will now check if the installed
drive requires LBA48, making sure the flashed firmware also supports
LBA48. If not, we will disallow booting into the OF (including disk mode)
altogether. This check can be overridden by holding down LEFT, at which
point you get to keep all the pieces.
Note: While Apple never released firmware without these limitaitons on
the older models, there is a way to update to update these to the newer
firmware. This requires altering the stored HwVr, so it is safe to use
the HwVr as a proxy for the installe firmware capabilities.

Show this in in the info dump when we can't find a filesystem to mount
in main() plus in the ipod bootloaders

Currently, only a bootloader can be built successfully. The development bootloader is functional, it enables further progress on the port.

when battery_bench is run
exports a file in the rockbox directory called 'battery_levels.default'
if the user wants their own levels they can rename the file battery_levels.cfg
and it will be loaded at boot
some minimal error checking is performed prior to using the values
added manual entry

Tested on ipod6g. No changes besides a text string.

A new flag S5L87XX_DEVELOPMENT_BOOTLOADER is introduced, to replace some of the bootloader functionality with debug/development menu. Not intended for end users, so it's not enabled unless explicitly specified when building
No changes to the binary if the new flag is not enabled.
Bootloader with the flag enabled boots on ipod6g.

Since the SPI NOR flash is only used for the bootloader, rename the files accordingly, This is a preparation for the nandboot driver will be introduced, since S5L8720+ don't have an SPI NOR flash anymore.

This is part of the preparation to add support for iPod Nano 3G and Nano 4G. There are some optimisations left, like merging similar blocks of registers that share the same layout, but the base address have changed between SoC generations.
