Kevin O'Connor 0adea120cd pru: Compile the irq_poll() function with -O2 optimization
Compile the PRU binary with -Os optimization, but request that the
timer dispatch code be compiled with -O2 optimization.  This improves
the performance of timers slightly.

Kevin O'Connor 71bb7acb8e pru: Compile with -Os instead of -O2
The gcc -Os option significantly reduces the size of the PRU binary
and it has little impact on performance.

Kevin O'Connor c1c0b2dd38 docs: Avoid using "firmware" in the documentation
The term "firmware" is ambiguous - it could refer to the entire
project (host and micro-controller software) or to just the
micro-controller software.  Avoid the term in the documentation.

Kevin O'Connor f46bc0ef04 stepper: Change default max_error from 50us to 25us
Change the default compression error window (max_error) from 50us to
25us - it's common for stepper motor drivers to have 30us for their
"pwm fixed off time" and it would be good for the steps to be
scheduled within that time.
