[PATCH 00/30] dm: Implement OF_PLATDATA_INST in driver model (part E)

This series builds on the recent dtoc implementation of build-time device
instantiation.

It adds the required driver model support, which is basically a few more
data structures.

With this, sandbox_spl and chromebook_coral both use the new feature.

For coral TPL there is a 1.5KB code-size reduction and a 1.75KB data-size
increase:

   text   data     bss     dec     hex
  18836   3080      12   21928    55a8    original
  17229   4896      12   22137    5679    with OF_PLATDATA_INST
  17277   4896      12   22185    56a9    with OF_PLATDATA_RT

The extra data size is due to the build-time devices which are now
included in the image instead of being built at runtime. Also the private
data for each device is allocated in the data region at present, even
through much of it is just zeroes.

The reduction in code size is due to not needing to bind devices at
runtime, as a well as a simplified probe() function. Coral requires that
data be copied out to RAM before being updated, so that adds a small
amount to size (shown in the third line).

Quite a lot of future work is possible, including reducing the size of
data structures. See [1] for more ideas. But this series implements the
basic feature.

To try this out on your board, define CONFIG_SPL_OF_PLATDATA_INST and see
what you get.

Note: SPL tests do not yet pass with this series. The driver_rt struct
is not set up so device_get_by_driver_info_idx() does not work. This means
that looking up phandles will fail. This will be addressed in a v2
series, along with documentation updates and a little more information on
code-size impact.
