Ohad Ben-Cohen cf59d3e9a7 remoteproc: bail out if firmware has different endianess
At this point we don't support remote processors that have
a different endianess than the host.

Look out for these unsupported scenarios, and bail out if
encountered.

Ohad Ben-Cohen dd6da1c5e9 remoteproc: don't use virtio's weak barriers
When creating a virtqueue for rpmsg, tell virtio we're not interested
in "weak" smp barriers, since we're talking to a real device.

On ARM, this means using a DSB instead of a DMB, which is needed
for platforms that kick the remote processor using some kind of
a mailbox device mapped to Device memory (otherwise the kick can
jump ahead and wake the remote processor before it has observed
the changes to the vrings).

Ohad Ben-Cohen 489d129a2f remoteproc: depend on EXPERIMENTAL
Remoteproc is still under development and as it gets traction we
definitely expect to do some changes in the binary format (most probably
only in the resource table, e.g. the upcoming move to TLV-based entries).

Active testing and use of remoteproc is most welcome, but we don't want
users to expect backward binary compatibility with the preliminary
images we have today.

Therefore mark remoteproc as EXPERIMENTAL, and explicitly inform the user
about this when a new remote processor is registered.

Ohad Ben-Cohen 650d65611e remoteproc: add Kconfig menu
Add a dedicated Kconfig menu for the remoteproc drivers, so they
don't show up in the main driver menu.

Mark Grosen 7d2d3956fb remoteproc: avoid registering a virtio device if not supported
Let remoteproc know when the firmware doesn't support any virtio
functionality, so registering a virtio device can be avoided.

This is needed for remote processors that doesn't require any
virtio-based communications, but are still controlled via remoteproc.

Mark Grosen 0798e1da7a remoteproc: do not require an iommu
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.

Ohad Ben-Cohen 34ed5a33b1 remoteproc/omap: add a remoteproc driver for OMAP4
Add a remoteproc driver for OMAP4, so we can boot the dual-M3 and
and DSP subsystems.

Use the omap_device_* API to control the hardware state, and utilize
the OMAP mailbox to interrupt the remote processor when a new message
is pending (the mailbox payload is used to tell it which virtqueue was
the message placed in).

Conversely, when an inbound mailbox message arrives, tell the remoteproc
core which virtqueue is triggered.

Later we will also use the mailbox payload to signal omap-specific
events like remote crashes (which will be used to trigger remoteproc
recovery) and power management transitions. At that point we will also
extend the remoteproc core to support this.

Based on (but now quite far from) work done by Fernando Guzman Lugo
<fernando.lugo@ti.com> and Hari Kanigeri <h-kanigeri2@ti.com>.

Ohad Ben-Cohen ac8954a413 remoteproc: create rpmsg virtio device
Create an rpmsg virtio device to allow message-based communication
with the remote processor (but only if supported by its firmware).

There are several advantages to provide this functionality at
the remoteproc-level:
- to support it, platforms only have to provide their own ->kick()
  handler; no need to duplicate the rest of the code.
- the virtio device is created only when the remote processor is
  registered and ready to go. No need to depend on initcall magic.
  moreover, we only add the virtio device if the firmware really
  supports it, and only after we know the supported virtio device features.
- correct device model hierarchy can be set, and that is useful
  for natural power management and DMA API behavior.
- when the remote processor crashes (or removed) we only need
  to remove the virtio device, and the driver core will take care of
  the rest. No need to implement any out-of-bound notifiers.
- we can now easily bind the virtio device to its rproc handle, and
  this way we don't need any name-based remoteproc ->get() API.

Currently we only support creating a single rpmsg virtio device per
remote processor, but later this is going to be extended to support
creating numerous virtio devices of other types too (block, net,
console...).

Ohad Ben-Cohen 400e64df6b remoteproc: add framework for controlling remote processors
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.

Based on (but now quite far from) work done by Fernando Guzman Lugo
<fernando.lugo@ti.com>.

ELF loader was written by Mark Grosen <mgrosen@ti.com>, based on
msm's Peripheral Image Loader (PIL) by Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org>.
