Subject: [PATCH 04/10] remoteproc: imx_rproc: make syscon optional

Make syscon optional, since i.MX8QM/QXP/7ULP not have SRC to control M4.
But currently i.MX8QM/QXP/7ULP not added, so still check regmap
when start/stop to avoid unhappy things.

Proceeding this way is hard to maintain. I would perfer to add specific
operations based on the scenario or coprocessor we are working with.

Here you are altering how all the existing implemenation are currently working.
Add a new field to imx_rproc_dcfg and based on that, determine if a regmap is
mandatory or not.

Hi Peng,

On the i.MX8QM/QXP/7ULP processors, the remote processors are not handled by the
remoteproc cores, as implemented in this patch. In such a scenario how does the
remoteproc core know the remote processor has crashed and how does it recover
from such a condition?

Thanks,
Mathieu

For 7ULP dual boot case, A7 is under control of M4, so if m4 crash, I suppose
A7 would not work properly.

For 8QM/QXP partition case, M4 is in a standalone partition, if M4 crash or
reboot, the system controller unit will restart M4 and notify Acore that M4
restart.

Thanks,
Peng.

In that case I assume the whole system gets rebooted, which puts the A7 in a
state where it can "attach" with the M4 again.

And how does that notification work exactly? Does rproc_report_crash() get
called somewhere in that process in order for the remoteproc core to attach to
the M4 again?

Many thanks for the help,

Yes. Whole system get rebooted.

Yes. We registered a interrupt notification handler with system controller unit.
When M4 rebooted, the system controller will raise interrupt to A53 core.
Then the notification callback will be invoked, the callback will call
rproc_report_crash. I not included this part code in the patchset, since
this patchset is to add initial support for 8M case.

Peng.
