i am not sure to understand your point here... the cached_table table was
already existing for the "normal" case[2]. Seems to me that the cache table is
needed on stop in all scenarios.

This is was I proposed in my V4 [3]. Could you please confirm that this aligns
with what you have in mind?
In such a case, should I keep the updates below in
rproc_reset_rsc_table_on_stop(), or should I revert to using rproc->rsc_table to
store the pointer to the resource table in tee_remoteproc for the associated
memory map/unmap?"
