Subject: [PATCH v3 11/14] remoteproc: Deal with synchronisation when changing FW image
Date:   Fri, 24 Apr 2020 14:01:32 -0600

This patch prevents the firmware image from being displayed or changed
when the remoteproc core is synchronising with a remote processor. This
is needed since there is no guarantee about the nature of the firmware
image that is loaded by the external entity.
