[U-Boot] [PATCH v4 0/15] Introduce driver model serial uclass

This series adds support for a serial uclass, enabling serial drivers to be
converted to use driver model.

Unfortunately this is quite a complicated process for a number of reasons:

- serial is used before relocation, but driver model does not support this
- stdio member functions are not passed a device pointer, but driver model
    requires this (so does serial, but it uses an ugly work-around)
- driver model requires malloc() but this is not available before
  relocation
- for sandbox, if something goes wrong with the console, we still need to
  get an error message out through the fallback console

So this series relies on quite a few patches to address the above, as well
as the serial uclass and an implementation for sandbox.

If you have limited time, please take a look at least at the uclass patch
which is 'dm: Add a uclass for serial devices' (see include/serial.h).

With v4, exynos boards all build and a second attempt has been made to add
Tegra support via the ns16550 driver, tested on beaver.

To see the current state of driver model, look at u-boot-dm.git branch
'working'.

Changes in v4:
- Add a binding for sandbox serial
- Add a separate Tegra serial driver to deal with the clock issue
- Add new CONFIG_TEGRA_SERIAL option to enable dm driver
- Remove 'clock-frequency' property from serial nodes
- Remove clock frequency setup for ns16550 driver
- Remove pre-reloc fdt property
- Use hard-coded UART clock from Tegra configuration

Changes in v3:
- Add new change to enhance lists_bind_fdt()
- Add new patch for tegra serial port details
- Add new patch to collect common baud rate code in ns16550
- Add new patch to enable driver model for serial on tegra
- Add new patch to move baud rate calculation to ns16550.c
- Add new patch to support driver model in ns16550
- Add new patch to use V_NS16550_CLK only in SPL builds
- Automatically bind the console even if not marked for pre-relocation
- Avoid reordering functions
- Change pre-reloc fdt property to 'u-boot,dm-pre-reloc'
- Fix typo in commit message

Changes in v2:
- Add exynos serial support
- Remove RFC status
- Rename struct device to struct udevice
- Split out core driver model patches into a separate set
