The preferred device can be specified with a DM_FLAG_PREFER flag or a 'dm,prefer' property in the device tree node.
It is possible that a better approach will come to light in the future, but this gets around the problem as it currently stands.
Here's your clue that something isn't quite right here. Again, this looks like the us of a DTS property to describe a SW functionality rather than describe the HW itself.
I'm not sure what needs to be done here either, but maybe it centers on a better understanding of *why* something is being preferred? And what if it is "preferred", then what does that really mean? And what if two devices are labelled as "preferred" -- Is that OK? Who checks and enforces it?
Sure, this may be a hack for now, but it needs more thought.

Where there are serveral device options that can be chosen, often one is preferred. This can normally be handled by aliases in the device tree.
However, when a device can be specified either with platform data or with a device tree node, which one should dm use? This situation happens with sandbox, where we want to use the device tree version if we have a device tree, and fall back to the platform data version if not. We need this to work because without a console U-Boot will not function.
The original approach was just to take the first device in the uclass and use that, but this does not work because the ordering is unknown.
The preferred device can be specified with a DM_FLAG_PREFER flag or a 'dm,prefer' property in the device tree node.
