normally also supports device tree it must use #ifdef to separate
out this code, since the structures are only available in SPL.
- Correct relations between nodes are not implemented. This means that
parent/child relations (like bus device iteration) do not work yet.
Some phandles (those that are recognised as such) are converted into
a pointer to struct driver_info. This pointer can be used to access
the referenced device.

used to declare an alias for a driver name, typically a 'compatible' string.
This macro produces no code, but it is by dtoc tool.
The parent_idx is the index of the parent driver_info structure within its
linker list (instantiated by the U_BOOT_DEVICE() macro). This is used to support
dev_get_parent(). The dm_populate_phandle_data() is included to allow for
fix-ups required by dtoc. It is not currently used. The values in 'clocks' are
the index of the driver_info for the target device followed by any phandle
arguments. This is used to support device_get_by_driver_info_idx().
During the build process dtoc parses both U_BOOT_DRIVER and U_BOOT_DRIVER_ALIAS
to build a list of valid driver names and driver aliases. If the 'compatible'
string used for a device does not not match a valid driver name, it will be

The beginnings of a libfdt Python module are provided. So far this only
implements a subset of the features.
The 'swig' tool is needed to build the libfdt Python module. If this is not
found then the Python model is not used and a fallback is used instead, which
makes use of fdtget.
The pylibfdt Python module is used to access the devicetree.

-----------
- Consider programmatically reading binding files instead of device tree
contents
- Complete the phandle feature
- Move to using a full Python libfdt module
