Summary

Renode does not simulate J-Link, so we cannot provision over J-Link RTT channel and must rely on BLE provisioning channel.

For BLE provisioning channel, have to enable provisioning mode but none of the currently supported ways of enabling would work on a simulated device:

• Can't write to nvm3 using commander (no J-Link)
• Can't factory reset with provision enabled (no physical HW to trigger with buttons)

This PR adds a provisioning shell command that allows users to trigger factory reset with provisioning enabled in the device console

Testing

Test slc build in matter_extension PR: SiliconLabsSoftware/matter_extension#1138

Send provision shell command, verify provision mode ENABLED

GN testing locally is blocked due to corporate security blocking silabs setup script slt download, but the GN pattern follows other shell implementation like icd, ble, etc. PR CI will test app builds with changes

PR Summary

Medium Risk
Factory reset and provisioning flags affect NVM and commissioning state; the change is narrow but operationally sensitive if the shell is exposed in production builds.

Overview
Adds a provision CHIP shell command on Silicon Labs example platforms so developers can trigger factory reset with provisioning required from the device console—useful when hardware buttons or J-Link/nvm3 tooling are unavailable (e.g. Renode simulation with BLE provisioning).

The new ProvisionShellCommands module registers the command and calls SilabsScheduleFactoryReset(true). ScheduleFactoryReset now takes an optional requestProvisioning flag (default false); when set, the scheduled reset path sets ProvisionRequired the same way as holding the action button during reset, without changing the existing button-only factory reset behavior.

GN build wiring adds a shell:provision target and links it for efr32 and SiWx917 when chip_build_libshell is enabled.

Are you sure you need sProvisionWithFactoryReset? Looks like the lambda can capture the value of requestProvisioning for the same effect.

closing as provisioning will be component enabled which would work for simulated device: https://silabsiot.slack.com/archives/C08BYL4JACS/p1787323802016279
