*Enable flexible file cache sizes for littlefs*

Type: ``int``

Help

.. code-block:: none

    littlefs requires a per-file buffer to cache data.

    When applications customize littlefs configurations and support
    different cache sizes for different partitions this preallocation is
    inadequate as an application might require a small number of files
    using a large cache size and a larger number of files using a
    smaller cache size.  In that case application should provide a
    positive value for the heap size.  Be aware that there is a
    per-allocation overhead that affects how much usable space is
    present in the heap.

    If this option is set to a non-positive value the heap is sized to
    support up to FS_LITTLE_FS_NUM_FILES blocks of
    FS_LITTLEFS_CACHE_SIZE bytes.
