[U-Boot] [PATCH v3 03/29] dm: core: Allow parents to pass data to children during probe

[Simon Glass]

Buses sometimes want to pass data to their children when they are probed.
For example, a SPI bus may want to tell the slave device about the chip
select it is connected to.

Add a new function to permit the parent data to be supplied to the child.
