Description
WIFI will not connect when using firmware with PSRAM option on non PSRAM hardware. For example using ESP32_PSRAM_REV3 firmware on ESP32 WROOM hardware.
Motivation and Context
Reported the issue espressif/esp-idf#11971 in ESP IDF and the same issue also happens in micropython. The issue arise due to the way ESP-IDF allocates cache memory for WIFI when PSRAM/SPIRAM option is enabled. On runtime WIFI cache will still be allocated when PSRAM is unavailable and this causes OOM.
This fix will check for PSRAM availability at runtime and disable the WIFI cache thus allowing for WIFI to connect.
How Has This Been Tested?
Tested on ESP32 REV0, REV3 (with and without PSRAM), ESP32 S3
