The Intel GPIO binding allows GPIOs to be globally numbered, so that it
does not matter which GPIO bank is specified in the device tree. This is
convenient and avoid confusion since the banks do not have the same number
of GPIOs and the numbering is not sequential.
The GPIO uclass ensures that the device mentioned in the devicetree

to a different driver, but this may not have been probed. If it has not
been, then it cannot be claimed since there is no uclass data.

binman: Use standard filenames for SPL/TPL devicetree
At present, before any entry expansion is done (such as a 'files' entry
expanding out to individual entries for each file it contains), we check
the binman definition (i.e. '/binman' node) to find out what devicetree
files are used in the images.
This is a pain, since the definition may change during expansion. For
example if there is no u-boot-spl-dtb entry in the definition at the start,
we assume that the SPL devicetree is not used. But if an entry later
expands to include this, then we don't notice.
In fact the flexibility provided by the current approach of checking the
definition is not really useful. We know that we can have SPL and TPL
devicetrees. We know the pathname to each, so we can simply check if the
files are present. If they are present, we can prepare them and update
them regardless of whether they are actually used. If they are not present,
we cannot prepare/update them anyway, i.e. an error will be generated.
Simplify state.Prepare() so it uses a hard-coded list of devicetree files.
Note that state.PrepareFromLoadedData() is left untouched, since in that
case we have a complete definition from the loaded file, but cannot of
course rely on the devicetree files that created it still being present.

kernel loader, only falls back to the cmdline interpreted initrd if the
protocol is not installed.
This creates a problem for EFI installers, since they won't be able to
load their own initrd and continue the installation. It also makes the
feature hard to use, since we can either have a single initrd or we have
to recompile u-boot if the filename changes.
So let's introduce a different logic that will decouple the initrd
path from the config option we currently have.
When defining a UEFI BootXXXX we can use the filepathlist and store
a file path pointing to our initrd. Specifically the EFI spec describes:
"The first element of the array is a device path that describes the device
and location of the Image for this load option. Other device paths may
optionally exist in the FilePathList, but their usage is OSV specific"
When the EFI application is launched through the bootmgr, we'll try to
interpret the extra device path. If that points to a file that exists on
our disk, we'll now install the load_file2 and the efi-stub will be able
to use it.
This opens up another path using U-Boot and defines a new boot flow.
A user will be able to control the kernel/initrd pairs without explicit
cmdline args or GRUB.

efi_loader: Add helper functions for EFI
A following patch introduces a different logic for loading initrd's
based on the EFI_LOAD_FILE2_PROTOCOL.
Since similar logic can be applied in the future for other system files
(i.e DTBs), let's add some helper functions which will retrieve and
parse file paths stored in EFI variables.

efi_loader: Add device path related functions for initrd via Boot####
On the following patches we allow for an initrd path to be stored in
Boot#### variables. Specifically we encode in the FIlePathList[] of
the EFI_LOAD_OPTIONS for each Boot#### variable.
The FilePathList[] array looks like this:
kernel - 0xff - VenMedia(initrd GUID) - initrd1 - 0x01 initrd2 - 0xff
So let's add the relevant functions to concatenate and retrieve a device
path based on a Vendor GUID.
