Enable device tree control so that we can use driver model fully and avoid using platform data.
I'm still not convinced about this change.
Re: the commit message about: What about the driver model is not being fully used without DT?
Overall: What advantage does using DT have to either a developer or an end-user?
I don't believe this patch fixes and bugs or enables any new features for an end-user.
From the maintainer perspective: It seems to me that it's far simpler to
have a tiny struct for each device in the C code than to pull in a whole slew of DT parsing cruft just to work out the same struct at run-time. As such, this patch can only make it harder to maintain the code since there's more of it, and it's more complex.
I just don't see the advantage of switching to DT for U-Boot control.
