拉取/合并请求描述:(PR description)

为什么提交这份PR (why to submit this PR)

Issue #9838 identified that Kconfig files in libcpu/ and components/ lack comprehensive help text, making it difficult for developers to understand configuration options, their dependencies, use cases, and impact on system behavior. Following comprehensive feedback from @Rbb666 requesting recursive checking and enhancement of all component subdirectories, this PR provides extensive help text across libcpu and all major components subsystems.

你的解决方案是什么 (what is your solution)

Added detailed help descriptions for 160+ configuration options across 12 key Kconfig files through comprehensive recursive checking of components/ subdirectories:

    bool
    select ARCH_ARM_CORTEX_M
    select RT_USING_CACHE

After:

config ARCH_ARM_CORTEX_M7
    bool
    select ARCH_ARM_CORTEX_M
    select RT_USING_CACHE
    help
        ARM Cortex-M7 high-performance microcontroller core.

        - L1 I/D cache (0-64KB each)
        - Optional single/double-precision FPU (FPv5)
        - TCM for deterministic access
        
        Performance: ~2.14 DMIPS/MHz, 5 CoreMark/MHz
        
        Cache management critical:
        - Flush before DMA reads
        - Invalidate after DMA writes
        
        Examples: STM32F7xx/H7xx, i.MX RT, SAM V71

<issue_title>[Feature] 完善Kconfig的help提示</issue_title>
<issue_description>### Describe problem solved by the proposed feature

目前主线仓库中 libcpu/components/BSP 下大量 Kconfig 文件的 help 描述仍不完整或过于简略,部分选项缺少必要的说明、使用场景、依赖关系提示。

建议重点优化方向:
libcpu/components/ 目录下的 Kconfig 中的重要配置项补充并完善 help 描述。补充时需深入阅读对应驱动/模块源码,结合实际实现逻辑和语义,提供准确、完整、易懂的帮助信息,需要做到:

  • 该配置项的具体功能
  • 启用后的行为变化
  • 依赖的其他配置项或硬件要求
  • 典型使用场景
  • 可能的副作用或注意事项

这样能大幅降低开发者在使用 RT-Thread 时选错配置的概率,同时提升整体 BSP 和 CPU 移植文档的完备性。</issue_description>
