Firstly I think we should use a different name. 'Late' doesn't really
tell me anything.

If I understand it correctly, this is supposed to be after OS_PREPARE
but before booting the OS?

I think we need to separate the flag names as they are too similar.

I think DM_FLAG_BASIC and DM_REMOVE_NON_BASIC would be better (or some
term that explains that this is a device used by many others)

That way we are describing the property of the device rather than what
we want to do with it.

Note also the semantics of what is going on here. The idea of the
existing OS_PREPARE and ACTIVE_DMA flags is that the default for
device_remove() is to remove everything, but if you provide a flag
then it just removes those things. Your flag is the opposite to that,
which is why you are changing so much code.

So I think we could change this to DM_REMOVE_NON_BASIC and make that a
separate step before we do a final remove with flags of 0.

That function checks the flags so I think you should add your check
there rather than adding new code.

OK I see, thanks.

OK so please add a comment.

Actually DM_REMOVE_NO_PD looks broken to me. We have to describe the
devices in this function, but it looks like that won't happen as it is
written. The docs for uclass_destroy() don't say anything about it
sometimes not destroying the uclass.

Anyway, hopefully with the changes above, you won't need any changes here.

OK, see above. It still needs a comment.

It is OK to remove the devices from a uclass in stages, but destroying
the uclass should happen once. So far as I understand it, you should
not have this flag.

Also we need a sandbox test for this new behaviour as it is getting complicated.

Stefan, could you perhaps look at a test for the existing flags? We
should have some devices with different flags set and check that the
correct things happen when calling device_remove() with various flags.
