Andrew YongandTom 57d17cfd44 fix(stm32wl): recover from littlefs internal corruption instead of hanging (#11230)
LFS_ASSERT (src/platform/stm32wl/littlefs/lfs_util.h) was a plain assert(),
which on STM32WL hangs forever with no diagnostic (__wrap___assert_func is
while(true);, see main-stm32wl.cpp). STM32_LittleFS::begin() is already
designed to treat corruption as recoverable - format and retry, see
fsFormat()/NodeDB::saveToDisk() - but that only works if lfs_mount() cleanly
returns an error. An internal littlefs consistency check failing (metadata
pair/CRC/block-allocator invariants) never returns at all, so a bad flash
sector or power loss mid-write could permanently brick a device that would
otherwise have recovered via the existing reformat path.

nRF52 already hit this and fixed it (LFS_NO_ASSERT + a custom lfs_assert()
that reboots into a reformat, see meshtastic/firmware#3818). Port the same
approach to STM32WL: LFS_NO_ASSERT routes LFS_ASSERT through a custom
lfs_assert() instead of disabling the check outright, and lfs_assert()
requests a reformat-on-next-boot via a .noinit SRAM magic value (the same
mechanism already used for the DFU bootloader redirect in this file, chosen
specifically because backup/TAMP registers don't reliably survive a soft
reset in this toolchain) and reboots, rather than trying to reformat
littlefs from inside its own possibly-mid-operation callback.

Unlike nRF52 (a third-party Adafruit library patched via a -include
override so as not to fork it), STM32WL's littlefs copy is already a
project-owned vendored file, so lfs_util.h is edited directly.

Overview

This repository contains the official device firmware for Meshtastic, an open-source LoRa mesh networking project designed for long-range, low-power communication without relying on internet or cellular infrastructure. The firmware supports various hardware platforms, including ESP32, nRF52, RP2040/RP2350, and Linux-based devices.

Meshtastic enables text messaging, location sharing, and telemetry over a decentralized mesh network, making it ideal for outdoor adventures, emergency preparedness, and remote operations.
