These docs are useful for developers, not users. Move them under that
section.

dm: core: Add documentation about device removal

2021-02-03T10:38:41+00:00

Make mention of this feature in the core documentation so people can
discover it without looking at a header file.

dm: Rename U_BOOT_DEVICE() to U_BOOT_DRVINFO()

2021-01-05T19:26:35+00:00

The current macro is a misnomer since it does not declare a device
directly. Instead, it declares driver_info record which U-Boot uses at
runtime to create a device.

The distinction seems somewhat minor most of the time, but is becomes
quite confusing when we actually want to declare a device, with
of-platdata. We are left trying to distinguish between a device which
isn't actually device, and a device that is (perhaps an 'instance'?)

It seems better to rename this macro to describe what it actually is. The
macros is not widely used, since boards should use devicetree to declare
devices.

Rename it to U_BOOT_DRVINFO(), which indicates clearly that this is
declaring a new driver_info record, not a device.

dm: treewide: Rename ofdata_to_platdata() to of_to_plat()

2020-12-13T23:51:09+00:00

This name is far too long. Rename it to remove the 'data' bits. This makes
it consistent with the platdata->plat rename.

dm: treewide: Rename dev_get_platdata() to dev_get_plat()

2020-12-13T23:51:09+00:00

Rename this to be consistent with the change from 'platdata'.

dm: treewide: Rename 'platdata' variables to just 'plat'

2020-12-13T23:51:08+00:00

We use 'priv' for private data but often use 'platdata' for platform data.
We can't really use 'pdata' since that is ambiguous (it could mean private
or platform data).

Rename some of the latter variables to end with 'plat' for consistency.

dm: treewide: Rename auto_alloc_size members to be shorter

2020-12-13T15:00:25+00:00

This construct is quite long-winded. In earlier days it made some sense
since auto-allocation was a strange concept. But with driver model now
used pretty universally, we can shorten this to 'auto'. This reduces
verbosity and makes it easier to read.

Coincidentally it also ensures that every declaration is on one line,
thus making dtoc's job easier.
