      remoteproc: do not require an iommu · 0798e1da
      Mark Grosen 提交于
      Not all remote processors employ an IOMMU, so do not error out
      on !iommu_present().
      
      Note: we currently still use iommu_present() to tell whether we need
      to configure an IOMMU or not. That works for simple cases, but will
      easily fail with more complicated ones (e.g. where an IOMMU exists,
      but not all remote processors use it). When those use cases show up,
      we will solve them by introducing something like remoteproc hw
      capabilities.

      remoteproc: add framework for controlling remote processors · 400e64df
      Ohad Ben-Cohen 提交于
      Modern SoCs typically employ a central symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
      application processor running Linux, with several other asymmetric
      multiprocessing (AMP) heterogeneous processors running different instances
      of operating system, whether Linux or any other flavor of real-time OS.
      
      Booting a remote processor in an AMP configuration typically involves:
      - Loading a firmware which contains the OS image
      - Allocating and providing it required system resources (e.g. memory)
      - Programming an IOMMU (when relevant)
      - Powering on the device
      
      This patch introduces a generic framework that allows drivers to do
      that. In the future, this framework will also include runtime power
      management and error recovery.
