The reference to the linux mcu was helpful to understand what a linux mcu was but didn't help with understanding the technical reasons why it's not supported.

Previously the section for stepper_bed was intertwined with printer. This commit makes it match (../config/example-polar.cfg).

Added PCA9632 LED module support using software I2C from MCP4018
modulo drive the LED strip of a FlashForge Dreamer 3D printer.
Based on the PCA9533 module.

With recent changes, the extruder_stepper may be used for new
purposes, and synchronizing to the "extruder" motion queue at startup
may become a confusing default.

Deprecate SET_EXTRUDER_STEP_DISTANCE and SYNC_STEPPER_TO_EXTRUDER.
Recommend using SET_EXTRUDER_ROTATION_DISTANCE and
SYNC_EXTRUDER_MOTION.
Deprecate the extruder "shared_heater" option and reocmmend using
extruder_stepper config sections to obtain the same functionality.

Many non-English speaking countries use a comma as a decimal separator for printed numbers. This can create some confusion in documentation and config files when not surrounded by contextual clues like parenthesis. Improve documentation by adding spaces to coordinates.

Changing motor current may itself introduce unwanted motor movement.
As such, document that specifying a hold_current is not recommended.

Commit 689231df changed the default step_pulse_duration to 100ns for
TMC drivers that are configured in UART/SPI mode, but it failed to
document that change in Config_Changes.md and Config_Reference.md.
Update those documents to reflect that change.
Update the code so that a user may specify a custom
step_pulse_duration even on TMC drivers that are configured in
UART/SPI mode. This may be useful for drivers that use a level
shifter on the step pin that requires more than a ~300ns to detect a
level change.

It seems the common "beta 3950" thermistors generally follow a
temperature table defined by the new "Generic 3950" definition. Using
a table that actually follows the "beta 3950" temperature curve is
generally less accurate. Deprecate the existing "NTC 100K beta 3950"
definition to avoid this common issue.

Remove the STEP_DELAY Kconfig option and replace it with a per-stepper
step_pulse_duration printer.cfg config option.
The AVR code will continue to have optimized code to step and "unstep"
in the same function (which is automatically activated when the step
delay is 40 ticks or less). This change removes the Kconfig option
for single function step/unstep on 32bit processors.

The code automatically reduces the hold_current so that it is no
greater than the run_current. However, this could lead to confusing
behavior if one reduced and then increased the run_current via
SET_TMC_CURRENT commands. To avoid that, this change adds support for
tracking the requested hold_current - thus changes to run_current
don't subtly alter the hold_current.

A larger smooth_time results in a slower reaction time for the PID.
This increased delay can cause temperature oscillations with high
power heaters. Many boards produce good results without any
smoothing. So, it seems a smooth_time of 1 second is a better
default.

Allows contoller_fan sections to monitor only certain steppers instead of

Do not infer the sercom from the config section name, as that
prevents one from using SPI buses on multiple samd mcus.
