Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] remoteproc: Fall back to using parent memory pool if no dedicated available

From: Tero Kristo <[email protected]>

In some cases, like with OMAP remoteproc, we are not creating dedicated
memory pool for the virtio device. Instead, we use the same memory pool
for all shared memories. The current virtio memory pool handling forces
a split between these two, as a separate device is created for it,
causing memory to be allocated from bad location if the dedicated pool
is not available. Fix this by falling back to using the parent device
memory pool if dedicated is not available.

Fixes: 086d08725d34 ("remoteproc: create vdev subdevice with specific dma memory pool")

v3:
- Go back to v1 logic (removed the vdevbuf_mem_id variable added in v2)
- Revised the comment to remove references to vdevbuf_mem_id
- Capitalize the patch header
v2: https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11447651/

As it fixes the implementation of the legacy, that seems reasonable to me.
