Re: [U-Boot] [PATCH v3 15/16] dm: Add README for driver model

Dear Simon Glass,

From: Pavel Herrmann morpheus.ibis@gmail.com

This adds a README to help with understanding of this series.

Signed-off-by: Simon Glass sjg@chromium.org

Changes in v3:

• Updated README.txt to cover changes since version 2

Changes in v2:

• Removed pointer return values in favour of integer
• Use driver_bind() in dm_init() instead of writing new code
• Allow driver_bind() to support a NULL parent
• Add dm_warn() to warn about impending doom
• Standardise variable names (e.g. uclass instead of class)
• Remove relocation functions
• Add new header file for lists
• Add new util file to hold utility functions
• Allow a driver to bind to only one uclass
• Remove unneeded arguments to uclass_bind(), uclass_unbind()
• Rename struct device's 'bus' to 'parent'
• Rename data structures to hopefully be clearer
• Put platform_data definitions in their own header file
• Add U_BOOT_DEVICE to declare platform_data
• Add auto-probing feature for platform_data to avoid driver_bind() calls
• Add simple unit test functions
• Add test infrastructure for driver model
• Add integration tests for driver model
• Add device tree support in driver model
• Add automatic allocation of platform_data for FDT
• Add automatic allocation of priv data for devices
• Add automatic allocation of device-specific priv data for uclasses
• Add GPIO uclass and tests
• Add sandbox GPIO driver
• Update gpio command to use driver model
• Add tests for core code
• Add script to run tests
• Add a single include/dm.h to bring in driver model code

You might _really_ want to reorder the readme in front of the actual DM patches.

Best regards, Marek Vasut
