So are you suggesting that each SoC provides a function (not in the
driver model framework) to get the peripheral ID in the simple pinctrl
case? This might be similar to clock_decode_periph_id(const void
*blob, int node) in tegra.

In fact if we implement a full clock controller binding (similar to
how you have implemented pinctrl) then we can avoid the need for
peripheral IDs once driver model is fully up. The need then exists
only in SPL, due to code size/memory constraints. It may perhaps also
be needed before relocation in U-Boot proper due to execution time
constraints but we can limit the number of devices brought up using
u-boot,dm-pre-reloc.

It would be good to limit the spread of the peripheral ID and only use
it when needed.

I'll take a look at creating a function outside of pinctrl which
returns a peripheral ID. That deals with the get_periph_id() method in
pinctrl.

However this still leaves the request() method - which takes a
peripheral ID. This is needed I think because:the device being set up
might not have a udevice in SPL. What do you think?

Simon
