Matt Redfearn 2aefbef041 remoteproc: Add a sysfs interface for firmware and state
This patch adds a sysfs interface to rproc allowing the firmware name
and processor state to be changed dynamically.

State was previously available in debugfs, and is replicated here. The
firmware file allows retrieval of the running firmware name, and a new
one to be specified at run time, so long as the remote processor has
been stopped.

Description: Remote processor firmware
Reports the name of the firmware currently loaded to the
remote processor.
To change the running firmware, ensure the remote processor is
stopped (using /sys/class/remoteproc/.../state) and write a new filename.

Description: Remote processor state
Reports the state of the remote processor, which will be one of:
"offline"
"suspended"
"running"
"crashed"
"invalid"
"offline" means the remote processor is powered off.
"suspended" means that the remote processor is suspended and
must be woken to receive messages.
"running" is the normal state of an available remote processor
"crashed" indicates that a problem/crash has been detected on
the remote processor.
"invalid" is returned if the remote processor is in an
unknown state.
Writing this file controls the state of the remote processor.
The following states can be written:
"start"
"stop"
Writing "start" will attempt to start the processor running the
firmware indicated by, or written to,
/sys/class/remoteproc/.../firmware. The remote processor should
transition to "running" state.
Writing "stop" will attempt to halt the remote processor and
return it to the "offline" state.
