This will allow a driver's bind function to use the driver data. One
example is the Tegra186 GPIO driver, which instantiates child devices
for each of its GPIO ports, yet supports two different HW instances each
with a different set of ports, and identified by the udevice_id .data
field.

Many System on Chip(SoC) solutions are complex with multiple processors
on the same die dedicated to either general purpose of specialized
functions. Many examples do exist in today's SoCs from various vendors.
Typical examples are micro controllers such as an ARM M3/M0 doing a
offload of specific function such as event integration or power
management or controlling camera etc.
Traditionally, the responsibility of loading up such a processor with a
firmware and communication has been with a High Level Operating
System(HLOS) such as Linux. However, there exists classes of products
where Linux would need to expect services from such a processor or the
delay of Linux and operating system being able to load up such a
firmware is unacceptable.
To address these needs, we need some minimal capability to load such a
system and ensure it is started prior to an Operating System(Linux or
any other) is started up.
NOTE: This is NOT meant to be a solve-all solution, instead, it tries to
address certain class of SoCs and products that need such a solution.
A very simple model is introduced here as part of the initial support
that supports microcontrollers with internal memory (no MMU, no
execution from external memory, or specific image format needs). This
basic framework can then (hopefully) be extensible to other complex SoC
processor support as need be.

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.

Some devices (particularly bus devices) must track their children, knowing
when a new child is added so that it can be set up for communication on the
bus.
Add a child_pre_probe() method to provide this feature, and a corresponding

Some device types can have child devices and want to store information
about them. For example a USB flash stick attached to a USB host
controller would likely use this space. The controller can hold
information about the USB state of each of its children.
The data is stored attached to the child device in the 'parent_priv'
member. It can be auto-allocated by dm when the child is probed. To
do this, add a per_child_auto_alloc_size value to the parent driver.

Devices can have childen that can be addressed by a simple index, the
sequence number or a device tree offset. Add functions to access a child
in each of these ways.
The index is typically used as a fallback when the sequence number is not
available. For example we may use a serial UART with sequence number 0 as
the console, but if no UART has sequence number 0, then we can fall back
to just using the first UART (index 0).
The device tree offset function is useful for buses, where they want to
locate one of their children. The device tree can be scanned to find the
offset of each child, and that offset can then find the device.

At present only root nodes in the device tree are scanned for devices.
But some devices can have children. For example a SPI bus may have
several children for each of its chip selects.
Add a function which scans subnodes and binds devices for each one. This
can be used for the root node scan also, so change it.
A device can call this function in its bind() or probe() methods to bind
its children.

In U-Boot it is pretty common to number devices from 0 and access them
on the command line using this numbering. While it may come to pass that
we will move away from this numbering, the possibility seems remote at
present.
Given that devices within a uclass will have an implied numbering, it
makes sense to build this into driver model as a core feature. The cost
is fairly small in terms of code and data space.
With each uclass having numbered devices we can ask for SPI port 0 or
serial port 1 and receive a single device.
Devices typically request a sequence number using aliases in the device
tree. These are resolved when the device is probed, to deal with conflicts.
Sequence numbers need not be sequential and holes are permitted.
At present there is no support for sequence numbers using static platform
data. It could easily be added to 'struct driver_info' if needed, but it
seems better to add features as we find a use for them, and the use of -1
to mean 'no sequence' makes the default value somewhat painful.

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.

This documentation pertains to the planned implementation of driver model
in U-Boot for each subsystem, but it has not been superseded. It is
probably better to have this documentation in the source code for each
subsystem where possible, so that docbook will pick it up. Where this does
