This series adds support for a serial uclass, enabling serial drivers to be converted to use driver model.
Unfortunately this is quite a complicated process for a number of reasons:
- serial is used before relocation, but driver model does not support this - stdio member functions are not passed a device pointer, but driver model requires this (so does serial, but it uses an ugly work-around) - driver model requires malloc() but this is not available before relocation - for sandbox, if something goes wrong with the console, we still need to get an error message out through the fallback console
So this series relies on quite a few patches to address the above, as well as the serial uclass and an implementation for sandbox.
If you have limited time, please take a look at least at the uclass patch which is 'dm: Add a uclass for serial devices' (see include/serial.h).
With v3, exynos boards all build and an attempt has been made to add Tegra support via the ns16550 driver. This is so-far untested but is offered for review.
To see the current state of driver model, look at u-boot-dm.git branch 'working'.
Changes in v3: - Add new change to enhance lists_bind_fdt() - Add new patch for tegra serial port details - Add new patch to collect common baud rate code in ns16550 - Add new patch to enable driver model for seial on tegra - Add new patch to move baud rate calculation to ns16550.c - Add new patch to support driver model in ns16550 - Add new patch to use V_NS16550_CLK only in SPL builds - Automatically bind the console even if not marked for pre-relocation - Avoid reordering functions - Change pre-reloc fdt property to 'u-boot,dm-pre-reloc' - Fix typo in commit message
Changes in v2: - Add exynos serial support - Remove RFC status - Rename struct device to struct udevice - Split out core driver model patches into a separate set
