[RFC PATCH v4 0/8] RFC: dm: core: Add support for vital devices

[Simon Glass]

This is an attempt to come up with a 'late removal' feature, as
implemented by Marek, but using different terminology and trying to fit in
with the existing removal flags.

Missing from this is a call to dm_remove_devices_flags() with the
DM_REMOVE_NON_VITAL flag, except for the call in dm_init(). It could
perhaps be placed in bootm.

I have taken the opportunity to clean up a few related things.

The series is available at u-boot-dm/late-working

The previous patch was here:

   http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/patch/20201108140818.55172-1-marek.vasut+renesas@gmail.com/

Changes in v4:
- Use 'vital' rather than 'late' as the description
- Invert the removal flag to DM_REMOVE_NON_VITAL, to avoid the need for
        two-pass processing in the bowels of driver model
- Simplify the test to only test 'vital'
- Drop the change to uclass_destroy()
- Revised and updated based on discussion
