[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 28/29] dm: Add dm_scan_other() to locate board-specific devices

Simon Glass sjg at chromium.org
Wed Jul 23 14:55:23 CEST 2014


Some boards will have devices which are not in the device tree and do not
have platform data. They may be programnatically created, for example.
Add a hook which boards can use to bind those devices early in boot.
