Subject: [PATCH 2/2] remoteproc: add support for co-processor booted before kernel
Date:   Thu, 29 Nov 2018 22:16:20 +0100

Remote processor could boot independently or be started before Linux
kernel by bootloader or any firmware.
This patch introduces a new property in rproc core, named preloaded,
to be able to allocate resources and sub-devices like vdev and to
synchronize with current state without loading firmware from file system.
It is platform driver responsibility to implement the right firmware
load ops according to HW specificities.
