Given that at this point the MMC subsystem itself has been migrated along with a number of subsystem drivers, formalize a deadline for migration.

Out of curiosity, the series of patches are forcing various block devices to comply with CONFIG_BLK by a certain deadline. What about the more fundamental CONIFG_DM requirement? I know the CONFIG_BLK implies CONFIG_DM is enabled, but if people don't have block devices for some reason, there might be a few devices missed, so a warning indicating CONFIG_DM isn't enabled might also be useful.
So, yes, we have not yet set a deadline on basic DM conversion. I haven't yet, and there's a few arches that haven't started and I'm talking with privately to see where things stand there.
My other concern about SPL devices where disabling DM in SPL saves space, or in some cases is required to fit.
Yes, what to do when switching to platform data isn't enough is an open question and I'm of a few minds still on if we should: - Allow some drivers to retain non-DM for SPL-only. - Declare that "TPL" is where the truly small and board/SoC/etc specific drivers need to reside. - Something else.
As there's pros and cons to both of those approaches.
