We support to write another stack code for supporting these legacy stuff, but things become more difficult. So I'm finally giving deadlines for these drivers to respective driver or board developers to convert them as soon as possible.
PS: We all agree some special platforms has some difficulties with dm-conversion let's discuss.
No dm conversion yet:
drivers/spi/cf_spi.c drivers/spi/fsl_espi.c drivers/spi/lpc32xx_ssp.c drivers/spi/mpc8xx_spi.c drivers/spi/mpc8xxx_spi.c drivers/spi/mxs_spi.c drivers/spi/sh_qspi.c drivers/spi/sh_spi.c drivers/spi/soft_spi_legacy.c
Partially converted:
drivers/spi/atcspi200_spi.c drivers/spi/atmel_spi.c drivers/spi/davinci_spi.c drivers/spi/fsl_dspi.c drivers/spi/fsl_qspi.c drivers/spi/kirkwood_spi.c drivers/spi/mxc_spi.c drivers/spi/omap3_spi.c drivers/spi/ti_qspi.cM
I would like to see these legacy drivers with full dm-conversion or zapped in v2018.09 version of U-Boot.

I've added a bunch of people to the Cc list. I am in agreement with this idea. I'd also rather not push the deadline here out further. Please, speak out if this is a problem, or if you'd like to drop some code / platforms. Thanks all!
My only concern is for legacy platforms such as mpc8xxx. As long as the new dm-driver doesn't force to use device tree which mpc8xxx doesn't have, it should continue to work.
