doc: switch to HTTPS for a few links

2026-08-29T04:41:36Z

It's 2026, we really should be using HTTPS wherever possible. The links in this commit were individually tested, they work fine (the sipeed one sometimes times out but I'm guessing it's hosted in China and it's not uncommon for Europeans to have issues reaching servers there).

doc: develop/driver-model: fs_firmware_loader: update link

2026-08-29T04:41:35Z

The current link redirects to a generic page on the Intel website. Looking at the Wayback Machine[1], it really looks like what is currently exposed in the official kernel docs, so used that instead.

doc: Remove the patman documentation

2026-07-06T14:28:50Z

The full patman manual now lives with the standalone patch-manager package, making the 1000-line copy in the tree redundant. Remove the in-tree manual, its README and the doc/develop/patman.rst toctree page. The sending-patches guide already introduces patman, so point it at the patch-manager package instead of the now-dead ':doc:' cross-reference and, with the manual gone, add a couple of lines on how the tool works. Point the SPI howto at that guide too, rather than repeating the install details. Signed-off-by: Simon Glass Reviewed-by: Tom Rini Reviewed-by: Mattijs Korpershoek

dm: clarify DM_FLAG_PROBE_AFTER_BIND behaviour

2025-03-30T15:09:04Z

The DM_FLAG_PROBE_AFTER_BIND flag only makes sense on a per-device basis, however recently added documentation as well as some confused drivers imply that it might be added to a driver definition, this does nothing. Clarify the new documentation and expand on the comment by the definition to point people in the right direction. Signed-off-by: Caleb Connolly Reviewed-by: Simon Glass Acked-by: Michal Simek

common: Move autoprobe out to board init

2025-01-14T17:42:51Z

Rather than doing autoprobe within the driver model code, move it out to the board-init code. This makes it clear that it is a separate step from binding devices. For now this is always done twice, before and after relocation, but we should discuss whether it might be possible to drop the post-relocation probe. For boards with SPL, the autoprobe is still done there as well. Note that with this change, autoprobe happens after the EVT_DM_POST_INIT_R/F events are sent, rather than before.
