Usually, the associated board would supply spl boot device
using spl_boot_device() but some boards have board driver
that are possible to supply boot device via board_get_int
with BOARD_SPL_BOOT_DEVICE id.

This patch add support for those.

I don't understand why we need this abstraction.  The intention of what
we have today is that the generic SPL framework calls out to something
to ask "what are we booted from?".  Why can the board driver not just
supply that information?  Thanks!

Yes, we can update boot-device on respective areas by probing board
driver and assign spl_boot_list[0] by explicitly define
spl_boot_device function, but this change bypass all these codes. Just
like how we did on SPL fit to load the concerned image via board
driver.

I still don't get it, sorry.  Why is spl_boot_device() not provided by
the "board" driver to say what to boot in this case?

That means, we have to add spl_boot_device in board-uclass.c ? so-that
respective board driver shall use?

Yes, or perhaps a board driver doesn't even make sense in this case and
the existing abstraction should be used as is?  This isn't a unique
problem, it's something we've been handling in SPL since the beginning.
In so far as we can now try and solve this problem with something
DM-based instead of not, it should still I believe just be the same
function call.

I don't understand why we have individual function calls though we
have dm supported cases to get rid of those? then why would be the
case for spl fit code to pump multiple images via dm board driver?
What this patch is trying to do is fundamentally similar, like spl_fit
is using a board driver to support multiple fit images where spl is
using a board driver to support the desired boot device.

Because when using DM it needs to be to improve things overall, not just
duplicate them.  We have an abstraction for "figure out what device
we've booted from" already.  I don't see how your changes are improving
the situation, just making the same abstraction with more calls.

When we're dealing with SPL we need to be even more thoughtful than
usual about size impacts.  So the DM implementation of spl_boot_device()
belongs elsewhere rather than making SPL do some checks and doing DM or
not DM.  Thanks!
