Summary
Currently when micropython uses GPIO pins as outputs, their actual configuration for pin drive strength and slew rate is the default one, which was set at power-on/reset (4mA, slow slew rate). There's no way to change these pin configurations in the micropython environment (other than low-level hacks with mem32[]).
This patch adds the ability to explicitly configure rp2040/rp2350 output pins' drive strength and slew rate, if/when needed, like this:
As the new drive/slew parameters are optional kwargs, all existing code and examples will still work as expected, like this:
All relevant documentation files are updated.
Testing
Tested on rpi-pico and rpi-pico2 boards.
