(Migrated from github.com)

Applied two improvements suggested by Gemini code review:

Removed redundant LORA_TX_POWER fallback from target.cpp
- The same fallback already exists in target.h (lines 13-16)
- Since target.cpp includes target.h, the definition was duplicated
- Keeping single authoritative definition in header is cleaner
Moved radio_init() declaration outside RADIO_DRIVER_AVAILABLE guard
- radio_init() now contains non-radio initialization (SPIFFS, clocks)
- These components should initialize even when radio is disabled
- Declaration must be unconditional to match implementation behavior
- Added clarifying comment about mixed initialization content

Result:
✓ target.cpp compiles successfully for both companion and repeater ✓ No redundant preprocessor definitions
✓ Function declarations match implementation guards ✓ Cleaner, more maintainable code structure

Summary of Changes

Hello @okapteinis, I'm Gemini Code Assist¹! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request implements two key refactorings based on recent code review feedback, focusing on improving code clarity, maintainability, and correctness of initialization logic. The changes address a redundant preprocessor definition and adjust a function declaration's scope to ensure critical system components are always initialized, regardless of specific hardware configurations.

Highlights

Redundant LORA_TX_POWER Definition Removed: Eliminated a duplicate LORA_TX_POWER fallback definition from target.cpp. This definition was already present and correctly handled in target.h, making the one in target.cpp redundant and leading to cleaner code by maintaining a single authoritative source.
Unconditional radio_init() Declaration: Moved the radio_init() function declaration in target.h outside the RADIO_DRIVER_AVAILABLE preprocessor guard. This change ensures that essential non-radio initializations, such as SPIFFS and clock configurations, always execute regardless of whether the radio driver is enabled, aligning the declaration with its implementation behavior and improving system robustness. A clarifying comment was also added.

Code Review

This pull request applies feedback from a previous code review, resulting in two cleanups. First, a redundant definition of LORA_TX_POWER is removed from target.cpp, consolidating it into target.h as the single source of truth. Second, the declaration of radio_init() is moved out of a conditional compilation block in target.h to correctly reflect that it now performs board-level initializations (like SPIFFS and clocks) that are required even when the radio driver is not available. Both changes improve code quality and maintainability. I have one suggestion to further improve clarity by renaming the radio_init function.

While the added comment clarifies the function's expanded role, the name radio_init is now misleading as it handles non-radio initializations (SPIFFS, clocks). To improve code clarity and maintainability, consider renaming it to something more descriptive like board_init() or peripherals_init(). This would make the function's purpose immediately clear to future readers. Note that this change would also need to be applied in target.cpp and at the function's call site.
