Subject: [PATCH 2/2] remoteproc: stm32: add capability to detach

From: Arnaud Pouliquen <[email protected]>

A mechanism similar to the shutdown mailbox signal is implemented to
detach a remote processor.

Upon detachment, a signal is sent to the remote firmware, allowing it
to perform specific actions such as stopping RPMsg communication.

The Cortex-M hold boot is also disabled to allow the remote processor
to restart in case of crash.

Notice that for this feature to be supported, the remote firmware
resource table must be stored at the beginning of a 1kB section
(default size provided to the remoteproc core).

This restriction should be lifted in the future by using a backup register
to store the actual size of the resource table.

Isn't it the stm32_ipcc driver on the other side of this call? In which
case I believe "data" is ignored, and you would be able to just pass
NULL here.

As long as "data" isn't dereferenced it's probably better to send some
bugus value, than an address to this variable on the stack. If on the
other hand you pair this with one of the mailbox drivers that
dereferences "data", you should initialize it...

Apart from this, I think the patch looks good!
