Expand the help messages for each driver. Add missing Kconfig for I2C,
SPI flash and thermal.

dm: Update documentation for new bus features

2015-01-30T00:09:57+00:00

Now that we have new bus features, update README.txt and the SPI docs to
explain these.

dm: core: Add a flag to control sequence numbering

2015-01-30T00:09:55+00:00

At present we try to use the 'reg' property and device tree aliases to give
devices a sequence number. The 'reg' property is often actually a memory
address, so the sequence numbers thus-obtained are not useful. It would be
better if the devices were just sequentially numbered in that case. In fact
neither I2C nor SPI use this feature, so drop it.

Some devices need us to look up an alias to number them within the uclass.
Add a flag to control this, so it is not done unless it is needed.

Adjust the tests to test this new behaviour.

dm: core: Set device tree node for root device

2015-01-30T00:09:54+00:00

The root device corresponds to the root device tree node, so set this up.
Also add a few notes to the documentation.

dm: README: recommend u-boot.dtb to try driver-model on sandbox

2015-01-06T00:45:15+00:00

To enjoy driver-model on sandbox, using device tree is recommended.
While we are here, change sandbox_config to sandbox_defconfig too.

This README is intended to help maintainers move their SPI drivers over to
driver model. It works through the required steps with an example.
