This essentially adds wide port support for free in passes that don't
have a usefully better way of handling wide ports than just breaking
them up to narrow ports, avoiding "please run memory_narrow" annoyance.
When converting a sync transparent read port with const address to async
read port, nothing at all needs to be done other than clk_enable change,
and thus we have no FF cell to return. Handle this case correctly in
the helper and in its users.
When extracting read register from a transparent port that has an
enable, reset, or initial value, the usual trick of putting a register
on the address instead of data doesn't work. In this case, create soft
transparency logic instead.
When transparency masks land, this will also be used to handle ports
that are transparent to only a subset of write ports.
Like wide port support, this is still completely unusable, and support
in various passes will be gradually added later. It also has no support
at all in the cell library, so attempting to create a read port with
a reset or initial value will cause an assert failure for now.
Since the packed cell doesn't actually support wide ports yet, we just
auto-narrow them on emit. The future packed cell will add
RD_WIDE_CONTINUATION and WR_WIDE_CONTINUATION parameters so the
transform will be trivially reversible for proper serialization.
Such ports cannot actually be created or used yet, this just adds the
necessary plumbing in the helper. Subsequent commits will gradually
add wide port support to various yosys passes.
This is going to be used to store arbitrary priority masks in the
future. Right now, it is not supported by our cell library, so the
priority_mask is computed from port order on helper construction,
and discarded when emitted. However, this allows us to already convert
helper-using passes to the new model.
