In some cases it can be useful to be able to bind a device to a driver from
the command line.
The obvious example is for versatile devices such as USB gadget.
Another use case is when the devices are not yet ready at startup and
require some setup before the drivers are bound (ex: FPGA which bitsream is
fetched from a mass storage or ethernet)

usage example:

bind usb_dev_generic 0 usb_ether
unbind usb_dev_generic 0 usb_ether
or
unbind eth 1

bind /ocp/omap_dwc3@48380000/usb@48390000 usb_ether
unbind /ocp/omap_dwc3@48380000/usb@48390000

Changes in v3:
- factorize code based on comments from ML
- remove the devices before unbinding them
- use device_find_global_by_ofnode() to get a device by its node.
- Added tests

Changes in v2:
- Make the bind/unbind command generic, not specific to usb device.
- Update the API to be able to bind/unbind based on DTS node path
- Add a Kconfig option to select the bind/unbind commands

I have tested bind/unbind with dwc3 on zynqmp for ethernet gadget and it
is working fine for me.
I have also tried to use bind/unbind for gpio zynqmp driver and it is
also working fine.

It means
Tested-by: Michal Simek <michal.simek@xilinx.com>

I would prefer if these commands are called as dm bind and dm unbind
instead of simply bind/unbind which should also fit to dm command
description "dm - Driver model low level access".


Thanks,
Michal

Yes i can see the point. But after thinking about it, maybe it is best
as it is? After all driver model is fundamental to U-Boot and it's not
clear what else we might bind/unbind.

I'd like to get other opinions here, too.

I think dm bind/unbind makes sense, yes.  "bind" and "unbind" are pretty
generic terms and making it clear it's part of working "inside" of DM to
hook/unhook things by making it a sub-command of dm sounds good.

I agree with Simon here. I think bind and unbind won't have any
plausible other meaning in U-Boot and DM is core to U-Boot
functionality in the new world. I think it would be OK to have "dm
bind" alias to "bind" if that's a point of confusion, but having it
top-level seems good to me.

They're still very generic words for something that's part of working
under the dm framework.  That said, looking at test/dm/cmd_dm.c and that
it's supposed to be only for test/debug type work, yes, OK, I'll change
my mind.

I would expect that almost everybody will enable CMD_DM where symbol is
in cmd/Kconfig but implementation in test/dm/cmd_dm.c (it is a question
if this is the right place for this file).
When solution with bind and unbind is designed because it is giving you
clear picture what has been binded and probed. You can find paths from
DT but it is not giving you run time information.
At least for xilinx platforms when this functionality is added (which is
great) I am going to make sure that CMD_DM is also enabled because
that's the way how to check status at run time.

Thanks,
Michal

It might well really belong as cmd/dm.c, but content wise it's debug
information that is also useful in the bind/unbind case (so you know
where U-Boot sees things as being at).

Then we should really not enable it by default for all boards with DM on.

 640 config CMD_DM
 641         bool "dm - Access to driver model information"
 642         depends on DM
 643         default y

Apart from having separate dm command, can't we add this as a part of
'usb reset'  I'm thinking usb reset can show the all possible
controllers shutdown and probe it again so-that gadget can show it
like others. This is what I tried [1]

I'm OK with having it disabled by default - it is for debugging after all.

FWIW, gcc 7.3.0 complains at this line:

Does it make sense to simply remove that line? At least I would like to
keep it enable for microblaze/zynq/zynqmp boards but not sure about
others. Or simply update every defconfig and enable it there to have
zero diff?

That seems like a hassle.

One option is to change each arch to 'imply CMD_DM' and then people
can change that down the track as they want to disable it?
