From 9dd2c004615ed788a0e82f29af77db26277cf186 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Loic Pallardy Date: Thu, 28 Nov 2019 12:33:51 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] MLK-23754-1 remoteproc: add support for co-processor loaded and booted before kernel Remote processor could boot independently or be loaded/started before Linux kernel by bootloader or any firmware. This patch introduces a new property in rproc core, named skip_fw_load, to be able to allocate resources and sub-devices like vdev and to synchronize with current state without loading firmware from file system. It is platform driver responsibility to implement the right firmware load ops according to HW specificities.
