build(core): replace -fsingle-precision-constant with explicit casts

The option -fsingle-precision-constant is unsupported in clang. Instead,
I'm adding -Wdouble-promotion (no hits in the codebase) and
-Wfloat-conversion (fixing the warning sites).

-fsingle-precision-constant ensures that all double literals without 'f'
suffix are treated as floats. But we don't care about literals per se,
we care about silent double promotions for calculations. The new set of
warnings is portable and more closely matches the intent.

The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This is a build-system cleanup for the Trezor hardware wallet firmware. The developers replaced a GCC-only compiler flag with portable warning flags and added explicit type casts in a handful of driver files to silence the new warnings. The changes are almost entirely about float/double precision and integer casts in display, power-management, touch-simulation, and telemetry code. There is no indication this fixes an active security vulnerability; it is a maintainability and portability improvement.

Recommended action

No security action required. Treat as normal code-quality/portability commit. Reviewers may verify that the explicit casts preserve the original intended values, particularly the DSI timing and battery telemetry conversions, but no incident response is warranted.

Security signals we found

01

No security-relevant signals in commit message or diff

02

Changes are build/compiler-warning hygiene, not vulnerability remediation

03

Explicit casts reduce ambiguity but do not change intended arithmetic semantics

04

No input validation, memory safety, or cryptographic changes present
