The current macro is a misnomer since it does not declare a device
directly. Instead, it declares driver_info record which U-Boot uses at
runtime to create a device.
The distinction seems somewhat minor most of the time, but is becomes
quite confusing when we actually want to declare a device, with
of-platdata. We are left trying to distinguish between a device which
isn't actually device, and a device that is (perhaps an 'instance'?)
It seems better to rename this macro to describe what it actually is. The
macros is not widely used, since boards should use devicetree to declare
devices.
Rename it to U_BOOT_DRVINFO(), which indicates clearly that this is
declaring a new driver_info record, not a device.

The Linux coding style guide (Documentation/process/coding-style.rst)
clearly says:
It's a **mistake** to use typedef for structures and pointers.
Besides, using typedef for structures is annoying when you try to make
headers self-contained.
Let's say you have the following function declaration in a header:
void foo(bd_t *bd);
This is not self-contained since bd_t is not defined.
To tell the compiler what 'bd_t' is, you need to include <asm/u-boot.h>
#include <asm/u-boot.h>
void foo(bd_t *bd);
Then, the include direcective pulls in more bloat needlessly.
If you use 'struct bd_info' instead, it is enough to put a forward
declaration as follows:
struct bd_info;
void foo(struct bd_info *bd);
Right, typedef'ing bd_t is a mistake.
I used coccinelle to generate this commit.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows:
<smpl>
@@
typedef bd_t;
@@
-bd_t
+struct bd_info
</smpl>

Move this header out of the common header. Network support is used in
quite a few places but it still does not warrant blanket inclusion.
Note that this net.h header itself has quite a lot in it. It could be
split into the driver-mode support, functions, structures, checksumming,
etc.

Following the example of most other SoCs in arch/$(ARCH)/cpu/$(CPU)/$(SOC)
move the lpc32xx code from arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/lpc32xx to
arch/arm/mach-lpc32xx.
Following the checklist from
commit 01f1445630 ("ARM: prepare for moving SoC sources into mach-*"):
[1] move files from arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/lpc32xx to arch/arm/mach-lpx32xx
[2] add machine entry to arch/arm/Makefile
[3] remove "obj-y += ..." from arch/arm/cpu/arm926ejs/Makefile
[4] fix the Kconfig file path in arch/arm/Kconfig
[5] (no MAINTAINERS update)
