micheleandClaude Sonnet 5 b029e3d95a fix: make flash SPI bus electrically independent, drop USRMCLK/CCLK reuse (Phase F7)
The flash subsystem's SCLK previously reused the boot config-SPI's CCLK
pad via the ECP5 USRMCLK primitive to save one pin. This made the
"exclusive flash bus" claim misleading (SCLK still depended on the
config engine's own pad electrically) and carried an unresolved
verification gap (USRMCLKTS pad-enable timing never checked against
the primary Lattice sysCONFIG Usage Guide).

flash_sclk is now a genuine 4th ordinary GPIO pin (E3, bank 7), added
purely additively to the real .lpf (git diff: one new line, no existing
ball moved). The flash bus is now 4 fully independent wires
(sclk/mosi/miso/cs_n), zero pins shared with any ECP5 config primitive
-- confirmed by the full-system synthesis reporting USRMCLK 0/1 (0%)
utilisation.

All 33 project testbenches re-run clean after the port rename (no
functional change, only sclk_sim -> sclk). Full-system real synthesis
re-verified: 0 constraint errors, Fmax 67.91MHz (up slightly from
66.68MHz, same critical path, not a regression).

"""
Generates synth/ecp5/spi_neuron_top.lpf (LOCATE/IOBUF constraints) for
spi_neuron_top's SPI + PSRAM ports on the real LFE5U-45F-8BG381C part,
using Project Trellis's own device database as the source of ball/bank/
dual-function data (the same data nextpnr-ecp5 itself uses) -- not
invented numbers.
Requires prjtrellis installed (Homebrew: `brew install prjtrellis`) and
its iodb.json for LFE5U-45F. See docs/FPGA-Neural-Hardware-Design.md §7
for the full placement rationale (bank/die-edge geometry, why banks 2+3
hold the PSRAM bus and bank 7 holds SPI/clock/reset).
Re-run this whenever the port list of rtl/spi_neuron_top.v's top-level
SPI/PSRAM interface changes (ADDR_WIDTH, MEM_DATA_WIDTH, etc.) -- it does
NOT try to read the RTL; the port list/widths are hardcoded below and
must be kept in sync by hand.
