[U-Boot] RFC, dm: devices and device_info platdata manual relocation

Hi all,
i have seen, updating u-boot in NOR parallel flash, that the U_BOOT_DEVICE structure "platdata" ptr is still pointing to flash, so the update (rewriting flash) die silently and fails.
I have found a workaround using misc_init_r that works in my board.c, as below, but i don't like too much the solution:
... #include <dm/platform_data/serial_coldfire.h> ...
DECLARE_GLOBAL_DATA_PTR; ....
int misc_init_r(void) { /* * FIXME: relocation seems not working properly on m68k, * so relocating manually */ struct udevice *dev; int retval;
printf("misc_init_r(): entering\n");
retval = uclass_find_device(UCLASS_SERIAL, 0, &dev);
if (!retval) { printf("misc_init_r(): relocating serial device\n");
dev->platdata += gd->reloc_off; }
return 0; }
static struct coldfire_serial_platdata mcf5307_serial_plat = { .base = CONFIG_SYS_UART_BASE, .port = 0, .baudrate = CONFIG_BAUDRATE, };
U_BOOT_DEVICE(coldfire_serial) = { .name = "serial_coldfire", .platdata = &mcf5307_serial_plat, };
So, i can keep this changes in my board, but, i am wondering if manual-reloc of devices structures is maybe responsibility of drivers/core/root.c, something like
int dm_init(void)
{
..... #if defined(CONFIG_NEEDS_MANUAL_RELOC) fix_drivers(); fix_uclass(); fix_devices(); <------------- #endif
.....
Every comment is welcome.

I believe you have sent a patch for this and is has been applied, correct?

Yes, it's already applied.
I thought to provide directly the patch, to facilitate things and since u-boot on amcore board was not relocating correctly.
Many Thanks !
