      remoteproc: remove unused resource type · 2fd51811
      Ohad Ben-Cohen 提交于
      RSC_VIRTIO_CFG isn't being used, so remove it.
      
      Originally it was introduced to overcome a resource table limitation
      that prevented describing a virtio device in a single resource table
      entry.
      
      The plan though is to describe resource table entries in a TLV fashion,
      where each entry will consume the amount of space it requires,
      so the original limitation is anyway temporary.

      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.
