Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

The H5 MCUs, specifically the STM32H562RG, makes a good candidate for a high performance, and cheap, flight controller MCU with up-to-date peripherals.

Work is already underway, this is just to track progress.

Please link PR's as they're raised.

Anyone interested in FC hardware prototypes please contact me via the SPRacing or BF discord servers.

H5 series overview: https://www.st.com/en/microcontrollers-microprocessors/stm32h5-series.html

Note there are two types of H5 MCU:

The H562 is essentially the same as the H563 but without some peripherals that BF doesn't use anyway, so the H563 makes for a good development system as code will run on the H562 as well.

Of note to developers, the H56x has an ETM so it can be used to do real-time system profiling using a cheap debugger. Tools like segger SystemView and O-Zone can be used to see which functions are using the CPU the most. Other highlights include OctoSPI, USBC-PD, I3C and an updated DMA controller.

This is a good idea to use H5 series microcontroller! I'm with you!💪

Any updates on this!! @hydra, I would like to contribute... it can be porting or designing FC or both...
