Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] remoteproc: Introduce deny_sysfs_ops flag
Date:   Fri, 20 Nov 2020 21:01:55 -0600

The remoteproc framework provides sysfs interfaces for changing
the firmware name and for starting/stopping a remote processor
through the sysfs files 'state' and 'firmware'. The 'recovery'
sysfs file can also be used similarly to control the error recovery
state machine of a remoteproc. These interfaces are currently
allowed irrespective of how the remoteprocs were booted (like
remoteproc self auto-boot, remoteproc client-driven boot etc).
These interfaces can adversely affect a remoteproc and its clients
especially when a remoteproc is being controlled by a remoteproc
client driver(s). Also, not all remoteproc drivers may want to
support the sysfs interfaces by default.

Add support to deny the sysfs state/firmware/recovery change by
introducing a state flag 'deny_sysfs_ops' that the individual
remoteproc drivers can set based on their usage needs. The default
behavior is to allow the sysfs operations as before.
