fix(deploy): skip ESP32-S3 QEMU ADC patch when adc_hw_calibration is not linked

[zackees]

Problem

patch_qemu_esp32s3_adc_calibration resolved adc_hw_calibration with a hard requirement:

emulator error: deploy failed: required ELF symbol 'adc_hw_calibration' not found in .../firmware.elf

That constructor lives in libesp_adc.a(adc_common.c.obj) and is only linked when the firmware pulls in the one-shot ADC. Since FastLED/FastLED#4804 (FastLED#4796), FastLED no longer extracts that object into every ESP32-S3 sketch. It saves about 4.4 KB flash and 180 B RAM, and it broke FastLED's esp32s3_qemu_rmt / esp32s3_qemu_lcd jobs (e.g. FastLED run 37880186599).

Fix

When the symbol is absent there is no boot ADC calibration for QEMU to hang on, so the patch logs and returns Ok(()) without touching the image. When present, the behavior is unchanged.

Tests

• New qemu_adc_patch_is_skipped_when_calibration_not_linked builds a synthetic Xtensa ELF and checks that the image is untouched. It also checks that elf_has_symbol detects the symbol when present.
• cargo test -p fbuild-deploy: 295 passed.

Follow-up on the FastLED side: move the fbuild== pin once this ships.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • ESP32-S3 QEMU image patching now succeeds without changes when the ELF does not contain the ADC calibration symbol. Existing patching behavior is preserved when the symbol is present.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The ESP32-S3 QEMU ADC calibration patcher now checks whether the ELF contains adc_hw_calibration. If the symbol is absent, it returns without patching. Tests cover the absent-symbol case and symbol detection in a generated ELF fixture.

Changes

ADC Calibration Patch

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Symbol check and patcher test crates/fbuild-deploy/src/esp32/image.rs, crates/fbuild-deploy/src/esp32/tests.rs	The ELF symbol helper checks for a requested symbol. The patcher returns when adc_hw_calibration is absent. Tests verify the flash bytes remain unchanged and check the fixture containing the symbol.

Reuse one ELF parse for the symbol check and address lookup.

elf_has_symbol reads and parses the ELF. resolve_local_elf_symbol_address then reads and parses the same file again when the symbol is present. This costs one extra read per deploy. The cost is small and not a defect, so this is optional.
