This README is intended to help maintainers move their SPI drivers over to
driver model. It works through the required steps with an example.

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
child_post_remove() method.

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.

Each device that was bound from a device tree has an node that caused it to
be bound. Add functions that find and return a device based on a device tree
offset.

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.

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"

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
not make sense, new documentation can be placed in some suitable file in
doc/driver-model.
