At present the NVMe uclass driver uses a global variable nvme_info
to store global information like namespace id, and NVMe controller
driver's priv struct has a blk_dev_start that is used to calculate
the namespace id based on the global information from nvme_info.
This is not a good design in the DM world and can be replaced with
the following changes:
- Encode the namespace id in the NVMe block device name during
the NVMe uclass post probe
- Extract the namespace id from the device name during the NVMe
block device probe
- Let BLK uclass calculate the devnum for us by passing -1 to
blk_create_devicef() as the devnum

NVM Express (NVMe) is a register level interface that allows host
software to communicate with a non-volatile memory subsystem. This
interface is optimized for enterprise and client solid state drives,
typically attached to the PCI express interface.
This adds a U-Boot driver support of devices that follow the NVMe
standard [1] and supports basic read/write operations.
Tested with a 400GB Intel SSD 750 series NVMe card with controller
id 8086:0953.
