TPL use a small device tree (u-boot-tpl.dtb), containing only the nodes with
-the pre-relocation properties: 'u-boot,dm-pre-reloc' and 'u-boot,dm-tpl'
-(see README.SPL for details).
+the pre-relocation properties: 'bootph-all' and 'bootph-pre-sram'
+(see doc/develop/spl.rst for details).
For example:
----------------------
For pre-relocation we simply call the driver model init function. Only
-drivers marked with DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC or the device tree 'u-boot,dm-pre-reloc'
+drivers marked with DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC or the device tree 'bootph-all'
property are initialised prior to relocation. This helps to reduce the driver
model overhead. This flag applies to SPL and TPL as well, if device tree is
enabled (CONFIG_OF_CONTROL) there.
-Note when device tree is enabled, the device tree 'u-boot,dm-pre-reloc'
+Note when device tree is enabled, the device tree 'bootph-all'
property can provide better control granularity on which device is bound
before relocation. While with DM_FLAG_PRE_RELOC flag of the driver all
devices with the same driver are bound, which requires allocation a large
prior to relocation.
It is possible to limit this to specific relocation steps, by using
-the more specialized 'u-boot,dm-spl' and 'u-boot,dm-tpl' flags
-in the device tree node. For U-Boot proper you can use 'u-boot,dm-pre-proper'
+the more specialized 'bootph-pre-ram' and 'bootph-pre-sram' flags
+in the device tree node. For U-Boot proper you can use 'bootph-some-ram'
which means that it will be processed (and a driver bound) in U-Boot proper
prior to relocation, but will not be available in SPL or TPL.
-To reduce the size of SPL and TPL, only the nodes with pre-relocation properties
-('u-boot,dm-pre-reloc', 'u-boot,dm-spl' or 'u-boot,dm-tpl') are keept in their
-device trees (see README.SPL for details); the remaining nodes are always bound.

Then post relocation we throw that away and re-init driver model again.

fs_loader0: fs-loader {

compatible = "u-boot,fs-loader";
phandlepart = <&mmc 1>;
};
Example for ubi::

compatible = "u-boot,fs-loader";
mtdpart = "UBI",

reg = <0x20008000 0x200>;
- u-boot,dm-spl;

Link errors / undefined reference
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The first one indicates that the device cannot find its driver. This means that
there is a driver 'sandbox_spl_test' but it is not compiled into the build.
Check your Kconfig settings to make sure it is. If you don't want that in the

Removing old code

- the mandatory nodes (/alias, /chosen, /config)
- the nodes with one pre-relocation property:
- 'u-boot,dm-pre-reloc' or 'u-boot,dm-spl'
+ 'bootph-all' or 'bootph-pre-ram'
fdtgrep is also used to remove:
- the properties defined in CONFIG_OF_SPL_REMOVE_PROPS
- all the pre-relocation properties
- ('u-boot,dm-pre-reloc', 'u-boot,dm-spl' and 'u-boot,dm-tpl')
+ ('bootph-all', 'bootph-pre-ram' (SPL), 'bootph-pre-sram' (TPL) and
+ 'bootph-verify' (TPL))
All the nodes remaining in the SPL devicetree are bound
(see doc/driver-model/design.rst).
