Description: This patch modifies the predefined USART IRQ handlers in the Arduino Due core to be declared __attribute__((weak)). Motivation: - Allows libraries, such as ['DUERS485DMA'](https://github.com/NitrofMtl/DUERS485DMA), to override the default USART interrupt handlers. - Necessary for DMA-based RS485 implementations that require custom IRQ handling without modifying the core itself. Changes: - All predefined USARTx_Handler() functions are now weak. - Existing functionality remains unchanged if no library overrides the handler. - No effect on boards or configurations that do not use these handlers. Impact: - Compatible with existing sketches using standard Serial objects. - Enables advanced libraries to implement DMA or custom serial processing. Notes: - Only the weak attribute is added; the logic inside the handlers is untouched. - Users may override handlers selectively (only the USARTs they use).
