At present a device can read its ofdata before its parent has done the same. This can cause problems in the case where the parent has a 'ranges' property, thus affecting the operation of dev_read_addr(), for example.

We already probe parent devices before children so it does not seem to be a large step to do the same with ofdata.

Make the change and update the documentation in this area.

The device is marked 'platdata valid'. + +Note that ofdata reading is always done (for a child and all its parents) +before probing starts. Thus devices go through two distinct states when +probing: reading platform data and actually touching the hardware to bring +the device up. + +Having probing separate from ofdata-reading helps deal with of-platdata, where +the probe() method is common to both DT/of-platdata operation, but the +ofdata_to_platdata() method is implemented differently. + +Another case has come up where this separate is useful. Generation of ACPI +tables uses the of-platdata but does not want to probe the device. Probing +would cause U-Boot to violate one of its design principles, viz that it +should only probe devices that are used. For ACPI we want to generate a +table for each device, even if U-Boot does not use it. In fact it may not +even be possible to probe the device - e.g. an SD card which is not +present will cause an error on probe, yet we still must tell Linux about +the SD card connector in case it is used while Linux is running. + +It is important that the ofdata_to_platdata() method does not actually probe +the device itself. However there are cases where other devices must be probed +in the ofdata_to_platdata() method. An example is where a device requires a +GPIO for it to operate.
