The bluetooth controller has been using the flag '-Ofast' to keep
within a real-time limit. There are two problems with this; firstly,
when a project should be optimized for size it is standard to use -O2,
not -Ofast.
Secondly, optimization flags have been deemed to be non-portable, so
instead of directly using "-Ofast" we should use the intent-macro
OPTIMIZE_FOR_SPEED_FLAG to ensure toolchain portability.
Testing has shown that we are still within the real-time limit when
changing from -Ofast to -O2. -Ofast is about 1us and 1% faster, but
increases the code size by 13kB (5% of the available flash on a
nRF51).
Since the slowdown is comparatively small compared to the code size
increase we have decided to use -O2 in place of -Ofast.
Other optimization combinations were also measured and their results
can be seen below:
-Ofast in BLE Controller and in #pragma in entropy driver.
