Subject: [PATCH v3 1/2] remoteproc: elf_loader: Update resource table name check

Update the way of checking resource table name with prefix
substring search instead of complete string search.
In general Qualcomm DSP binary is prepared by combining different ELFs',
hence section header name (e.g. .resource_table), appended with ELF name
to differentiate with same section(e.g. resource_table.ac_bin_process) of
different ELFs'.
Example readelf output of DSP binary:
[60] .start.ac_bin_process PROGBITS
[61] .resource_table.ac_bin_process PROGBITS
[62] .comment.ac_bin_process PROGBITS

Could we rephrase above like below ? It could be also taken why applying
the patch.

Update the way of checking resource table name with prefix substring
search instead of complete string search.

In general, Qualcomm DSP binary is prepared by combining different
ELF's. Hence, section header name (e.g. .resource_table), appended
with ELF name to differentiate with same section(e.g.
resource_table.ac_bin_process) of different ELFs'.

Example readelf output of DSP binary:
[60] .start.ac_bin_process PROGBITS
[61] .resource_table.ac_bin_process PROGBITS
[62] .comment.ac_bin_process PROGBITS

FWIW I agree :) I assumed Srinivasa was using a broken email client
that strips newlines and packs everything.

Looks like my email client did not honour new line
put by me in rephrased text. Sorry for that.

Please run checkpatch.pl before sending the patch.
