Looks great! I'm going to pick this up for u-boot-dm/next soon,
putting it on top of the PCI series.

Small USB update:

I've been fiddling with USB. I became inspired by your more ambitious
conversion of Ethernet and decided to take USB a bit further (using
driver model for all devices, not just controllers).

I have something I am becoming happy with but it does not support USB
networking. Once I apply your series I will see if I can use driver
model for that also either before or after I send the next version.

Simon
