dm: Allow device removal features to be dropped

2014-11-21T07:13:02+00:00

For SPL we don't expect to need to remove a device. Save some code space
by dropping this feature. The board config can define
CONFIG_DM_DEVICE_REMOVE if this is in fact needed.

dm: core: Allow parents to pass data to children during probe

2014-10-22T16:36:46+00:00

Buses sometimes want to pass data to their children when they are probed.
For example, a SPI bus may want to tell the slave device about the chip
select it is connected to.

Add a new function to permit the parent data to be supplied to the child.

dm: Allow drivers to be marked 'before relocation'

2014-07-23T13:07:24+00:00

Driver model currently only operates after relocation is complete. In this
state U-Boot typically has a small amount of memory available. In adding
support for driver model prior to relocation we must try to use as little
memory as possible.

In addition, on some machines the memory has not be inited and/or the CPU
is not running at full speed or the data cache is off. These can reduce
execution performance, so the less initialisation that is done before
relocation the better.

An immediately-obvious improvement is to only initialise drivers which are
actually going to be used before relocation. On many boards the only such
driver is a serial UART, so this provides a very large potential benefit.

Allow drivers to mark themselves as 'pre-reloc' which means that they will
be initialised prior to relocation. This can be done either with a driver
flag or with a 'dm,pre-reloc' device tree property.

To support this, the various dm scanning function now take a 'pre_reloc_only'
parameter which indicates that only drivers marked pre-reloc should be
bound.

dm: Cast away the const-ness of the global_data pointer

2014-06-20T17:55:49+00:00

In a very few cases we need to adjust the driver model root device, such as
when setting it up at initialisation. Add a macro to make this easier.

dm: rename device struct to udevice

2014-05-27T14:21:32+00:00

using UBI and DM together leads in compiler error, as
both define a "struct device", so rename "struct device"
in include/dm/device.h to "struct udevice", as we use
linux code (MTD/UBI/UBIFS some USB code,...) and cannot
change the linux "struct device"

dm: Add base driver model support

2014-03-04T17:15:29+00:00

Add driver model functionality for generic board.

This includes data structures and base code for registering devices and
uclasses (groups of devices with the same purpose, e.g. all I2C ports will
be in the same uclass).

The feature is enabled with CONFIG_DM.
