With this patch set[1] applied, UEFI subsystem maintains a list of its disk objects dynamically at runtime based on block device's probing. (See "issues" and "prerequisite" below.)

Issues: ======= * Some (UEFI-unrelated) UT tests still fail for a unknown reason. As I reported[2], this might happen due to U-Boot itself or UT framework.
* For removal case, we may need more consideration since removing handles unconditionally may end up breaking integrity of handles (as some may still be held and referenced to by a UEFI app).

Prerequisite: ============= * my patch, "disk: don't compile in partition support for spl/tpl if not really necessary"[3]

Patchs: ======= For easy understandings, patches may be categorized into separate groups of changes.
Patch#1-#3: DM: add a new feature (DM tag) Patch#4-#10: UEFI: dynamically create/remove efi_disk's for a raw disk and its partitions Patch#11-#12: UEFI: use udevice read/write interfaces
Change history: =============== v4 (Apr, 15, 2022) * rebased on pre-2022.07-rc1 * removed already-merged patches * added patch#1 (for better error code) * merged v3's patch#19 to patch#7 to make bisect work * split v3's patch#13 into patch#8(create) and patch#10(delete) * move a function prototype out of "#ifdef CONFIG_PARTITIONS" (patch#4) * move function prototypes out of "#ifdef CONFIG_PARTITIONS" (patch#11)
v3 (Mar 8, 2022) * rebased on 2022.04-rc3 * rebased on v2 of Simon's event patch (hence removed his patch from this patch set) * fix a spl-build error in mmc_blk_probe() (patch#3) * fix a build warning in fsl_ata_probe()/sil_pci_probe() (patch#5) * remove a problematic log message in efi_disk_probe() (patch#14)
v2 (Feb 10, 2022) * add/revise an error message if device_probe() fails (patch#3,#5) * fix a build error in sandbox_spl_defconfig (patch#8) * fix warnings in 'make htmldocs' (patch#8,#9,#18) * new commit: split efi_init_obj_list() (patch#14) * new commit: simplify efi_capsule pytest (patch#21)
v1 (Feb 2, 2022) * rebased on 2022.04-rc1 * drop patches that have already been merged * modify a tag-range check with "tag >= DM_TAG_COUNT" (patch#9) * move dmtag_list to GD (global data) (patch#9) * add function descriptions and a document about DM tag feature (patch#9,10) * add tests for DM tag support (patch#11) * change 'depends on EVENT' to 'select EVENT' for EFI_LOADER (patch#14) * migrate IF_TYPE_EFI to IF_TYPE_EFI_LOADER (patch#18)
RFCv2 (Dec 10, 2021) * rebased on 2022-rc3 * re-order and merge some related commits into ones * call device_probe() in MMC (not bind, but) probe hook (patch#5) * fix a wrong name of variable (patch#7) * add patch#9 * invoke device_probe() for virtio devices (patch#10) * add DM event notification (from Simon) (patch#11) * add DM tag support (patch#12) * move UCLASS_PARTITION driver under disk/ (patch#13) * create partition's dp using its parent's. This change is necessary in particular for 'efi_blk' efi_disk (patch#13) * modify the code so that we will use new features like tags and event notification (patch#13,15,16,20) * rename new functions from blk_read/write() to dev_read/write() (patch#17,18) * isolate changes in efi_driver from the rest (in efi_loader) (patch#19) * drop the previous patch#22 ("efi_selftest: block device: adjust dp for a test") due to the fix in patch#13
RFC (Nov 16, 2021) * initial RFC
AKASHI Takahiro (12): dm: tag: change ENOSPC to ENOMEM dm: tag: add some document test: dm: add tests for tag support dm: disk: add UCLASS_PARTITION dm: blk: add a device-probe hook for scanning disk partitions efi_loader: split efi_init_obj_list() into two stages efi_loader: disk: a helper function to create efi_disk objects from udevice efi_loader: disk: not create BLK device for BLK(IF_TYPE_EFI_LOADER) devices efi_loader: disk: a helper function to delete efi_disk objects efi_loader: disk: not delete BLK device for BLK(IF_TYPE_EFI_LOADER) devices dm: disk: add read/write interfaces with udevice efi_loader: disk: use udevice instead of blk_desc
