[TW#19280] Setting esp level log doesn't work

[jstar88]

I'm using last version of esp idf.
Seems like esp_log_level_set() doesn't override the log level in menuconfig

esp_log_level_set("*", ESP_LOG_VERBOSE);
ESP_LOGV(TAG_I2C, "OK _sendStopBit"); // don't work
ESP_LOGD(TAG_I2C, "OK _sendStopBit"); // work

/**
 * @brief Set log level for given tag
 *
 * If logging for given component has already been enabled, changes previous setting.
 *
 * @param tag Tag of the log entries to enable. Must be a non-NULL zero terminated string.
 *            Value "*" resets log level for all tags to the given value.
 *
 * @param level  Selects log level to enable. Only logs at this and lower levels will be shown.
 */
void esp_log_level_set(const char* tag, esp_log_level_t level);`

I had a similar situation, and I noticed that changing the menuconfig log level will actually result in different compiled code size, so I guess esp_log_level_set only applies to log levels higher than the on in menuconfig.

Thank you, this behavior must be better explained in the function documentation
