startup sync logic rework for the new PWON button boot scheme Previously we added logic to the MMI task to hold off PEI init until R2D is running, and then extended that condition to wait for FCHG init too. However, the dependencies of MMI upon R2D and FCHG don't start until mmiInit(), and that call is driven by Switch_ON() code, hence the wait for R2D and FCHG init can be made in that code path instead of the MMI task. Furthermore, with our new way of signaling PWON button boot to MMI, we need a new wait to ensure that the MMI task is up - previously this assurance was provided by the wait for Kp pointers to be set. Solution: revert our previous PEI init hold-off additions to MMI, add a new flag indicating MMI task init done, and put the combined wait for all needed conditions into our new PWON button boot code in power.c.

FC Tourmaline firmware differs from Magnetite in two principal ways when it
comes to Mot C139 target support:

* C139 LCD support is implemented in a more forward-looking manner: instead of
  emulating TI's C-Sample at the lowest R2D driver level and therefore being
  forever limited to 84x48 pixel display size, Tourmaline implements a new
  96x64 pixel framebuffer, matching the native LCD size of C1xx phones.  The UI
  configuration is still black&white only though - the Mother of FreeCalypso
  has no current plans to support color UI on smaller LCD sizes than TI's
  original 176x220 pix.

* Our aftermarket FFS configuration has been changed from 64x3 at 0x3C0000 to
  64x7 at 0x300000.  Our earlier 64x3 config was chosen back in 2015, at that
  time we didn't know how much room we would end up needing for the firmware
  image vs. how much FFS content we would eventually have, and this 64x3 config
  is now deemed to be too small, allowing only one 64 KiB sector for FFS
  content.  Our new FC Tourmaline aftermarket FFS config supports up to 320 KiB
  of FFS content, matches what we use on other platforms with 4 MiB flash chips,
  leaves 3 MiB for the firmware image (our current smallbw UI fw is only 2 MiB),
  and still avoids intersection with Motorola's (or rather Compal's) original
  FFS, which is important for avoiding problems in converting C139 phones back
  and forth between Motorola and FreeCalypso firmwares.
