There are no users of the blk_create_device() function outside the uclass.
Let's make it static. This will ensure that new block drivers will use
blk_create_devicef().

By using blk_create_devicef() instead of blk_create_devicef() the driver
can be simplified and brought into line with other block device drivers.

<title>Merge patch series "Tidy up use of 'SPL' and CONFIG_SPL_BUILD"</title>

<id>47e544f576699ca4630e20448db6a05178960697</id>
<content type='text'>
Simon Glass &lt;sjg@chromium.org&gt; says:

When the SPL build-phase was first created it was designed to solve a
particular problem (the need to init SDRAM so that U-Boot proper could
be loaded). It has since expanded to become an important part of U-Boot,
with three phases now present: TPL, VPL and SPL

Due to this history, the term 'SPL' is used to mean both a particular
phase (the one before U-Boot proper) and all the non-proper phases.
This has become confusing.

For a similar reason CONFIG_SPL_BUILD is set to 'y' for all 'SPL'
phases, not just SPL. So code which can only be compiled for actual SPL,
for example, must use something like this:

   #if defined(CONFIG_SPL_BUILD) &amp;&amp; !defined(CONFIG_TPL_BUILD)

In Makefiles we have similar issues. SPL_ has been used as a variable
which expands to either SPL_ or nothing, to chose between options like
CONFIG_BLK and CONFIG_SPL_BLK. When TPL appeared, a new SPL_TPL variable
was created which expanded to 'SPL_', 'TPL_' or nothing. Later it was
updated to support 'VPL_' as well.

This series starts a change in terminology and usage to resolve the
above issues:

- The word 'xPL' is used instead of 'SPL' to mean a non-proper build
- A new CONFIG_XPL_BUILD define indicates that the current build is an
  'xPL' build
- The existing CONFIG_SPL_BUILD is changed to mean SPL; it is not now
  defined for TPL and VPL phases
- The existing SPL_ Makefile variable is renamed to SPL_
- The existing SPL_TPL Makefile variable is renamed to PHASE_

It should be noted that xpl_phase() can generally be used instead of
the above CONFIGs without a code-space or run-time penalty.

This series does not attempt to convert all of U-Boot to use this new
terminology but it makes a start. In particular, renaming spl.h and
common/spl seems like a bridge too far at this point.

The series is fully bisectable. It has also been checked to ensure there
are no code-size changes on any commit.

Use PHASE_ as the symbol to select a particular XPL build. This means
that SPL_TPL_ is no-longer set.

Update the comment in bootstage to refer to this symbol, instead of
SPL_

<title>fs: Fix SPL build if SPL_FS_LOADER is enabled and FS_LOADER is disabled</title>

When SPL_FS_LOADER is set to y and FS_LOADER is not enabled, the SPL build
fails with the following errors:

Fix it by replacing the FS_LOADER with SPL_FS_LOADER in the Makefile, so
the fs.c with the necessary function definitions are compiled.

<title>sandbox: Return error code from read/write/seek</title>

The existing API for these functions is different from the rest of
U-Boot, in that any error code must be obtained from the errno variable
on failure. This variable is part of the C library, so accessing it
outside of the special 'sandbox' shim-functions is not ideal.

Adjust the API to return an error code, to avoid this. Update existing
uses to check for any negative value, rather than just -1.

<title>drivers: introduce UBI block abstraction</title>

UBI block is an virtual device, that runs on top
of the MTD layer. The blocks are UBI volumes.
Intended to be used in combination with other MTD
drivers.

Despite the fact that it, like mtdblock abstraction,
it used with UCLASS_MTD, they can be used together
on the system without conflicting. For example,
using bcb command:

  # Trying to load bcb via mtdblock:
  $ bcb load mtd 0 mtd_partition_name

  # Trying to load bcb via UBI block:
  $ bcb load ubi 1 ubi_volume_name

User always must attach UBI layer (for example, using
ubi_part()) before using UBI block device.
