Ohad Ben-Cohen 63140e0ed2 remoteproc: remove the hardcoded vring alignment
Remove the hardcoded vring alignment of 4096 bytes,
and instead utilize tha vring alignment as specified in
the resource table.

This is needed for remote processors that have rigid
memory requirement, and which have found the alignment of
4096 bytes to be excessively big.

Ohad Ben-Cohen 7a18694162 remoteproc: remove the single rpmsg vdev limitation
Now that the resource table supports publishing a virtio device
in a single resource entry, firmware images can start supporting
more than a single vdev.

This patch removes the single vdev limitation of the remoteproc
framework so multi-vdev firmwares can be leveraged: VDEV resource
entries are parsed when the rproc is registered, and as a result
their vrings are set up and the virtio devices are registered
(and they go away when the rproc goes away).

Moreover, we no longer only support VIRTIO_ID_RPMSG vdevs; any
virtio device type goes now. As a result, there's no more any
rpmsg-specific APIs or code in remoteproc: it all becomes generic
virtio handling.

Ohad Ben-Cohen fd2c15ec1d remoteproc: resource table overhaul
The resource table is an array of 'struct fw_resource' members, where
each resource entry is expressed as a single member of that array.

This approach got us this far, but it has a few drawbacks:

1. Different resource entries end up overloading the same members of 'struct
   fw_resource' with different meanings. The resulting code is error prone
   and hard to read and maintain.

2. It's impossible to extend 'struct fw_resource' without breaking the
   existing firmware images (and we already want to: we can't introduce the
   new virito device resource entry with the current scheme).

3. It doesn't scale: 'struct fw_resource' must be as big as the largest
   resource entry type. As a result, smaller resource entries end up
   utilizing only small part of it.

This is fixed by defining a dedicated structure for every resource type,
and then converting the resource table to a list of type-value members.
Instead of a rigid array of homogeneous structs, the resource table
is turned into a collection of heterogeneous structures.

This way:
1. Resource entries consume exactly the amount of bytes they need.
2. It's easy to extend: just create a new resource entry structure, and assign
   it a new type.
3. The code is easier to read and maintain: the structures' members names are
   meaningful.

While we're at it, this patch has several other resource table changes:
1. The resource table gains a simple header which contains the
   number of entries in the table and their offsets within the table. This
   makes the parsing code simpler and easier to read.
2. A version member is added to the resource table. Should we change the
   format again, we'll bump up this version to prevent breakage with
   existing firmware images.
3. The VRING and VIRTIO_DEV resource entries are combined to a single
   VDEV entry. This paves the way to supporting multiple VDEV entries.
4. Since we don't really support 64-bit rprocs yet, convert two stray u64
   members to u32.

Ohad Ben-Cohen 40b78b2cc7 remoteproc: make sure we're parsing a 32bit firmware
Make sure we're parsing a 32bit image, since we only support
the ELF32 binary format at this point.

This should prevent unexpected behavior with non 32bit binaries.

A lookup table would be easier to extend, and the resulting
code is a bit cleaner.

Ohad Ben-Cohen cf59d3e9a7 remoteproc: bail out if firmware has different endianess
At this point we don't support remote processors that have
a different endianess than the host.

Look out for these unsupported scenarios, and bail out if
encountered.

Ohad Ben-Cohen 489d129a2f remoteproc: depend on EXPERIMENTAL
Remoteproc is still under development and as it gets traction we
definitely expect to do some changes in the binary format (most probably
only in the resource table, e.g. the upcoming move to TLV-based entries).

Active testing and use of remoteproc is most welcome, but we don't want
users to expect backward binary compatibility with the preliminary
images we have today.

Therefore mark remoteproc as EXPERIMENTAL, and explicitly inform the user
about this when a new remote processor is registered.

Mark Grosen 7d2d3956fb remoteproc: avoid registering a virtio device if not supported
Let remoteproc know when the firmware doesn't support any virtio
functionality, so registering a virtio device can be avoided.

This is needed for remote processors that doesn't require any
virtio-based communications, but are still controlled via remoteproc.

Mark Grosen 0798e1da7a remoteproc: do not require an iommu
Not all remote processors employ an IOMMU, so do not error out
on !iommu_present().

Note: we currently still use iommu_present() to tell whether we need
to configure an IOMMU or not. That works for simple cases, but will
easily fail with more complicated ones (e.g. where an IOMMU exists,
but not all remote processors use it). When those use cases show up,
we will solve them by introducing something like remoteproc hw
capabilities.

Ohad Ben-Cohen 400e64df6b remoteproc: add framework for controlling remote processors
Modern SoCs typically employ a central symmetric multiprocessing (SMP)
application processor running Linux, with several other asymmetric
multiprocessing (AMP) heterogeneous processors running different instances
of operating system, whether Linux or any other flavor of real-time OS.

Booting a remote processor in an AMP configuration typically involves:
- Loading a firmware which contains the OS image
- Allocating and providing it required system resources (e.g. memory)
- Programming an IOMMU (when relevant)
- Powering on the device

This patch introduces a generic framework that allows drivers to do
that. In the future, this framework will also include runtime power
management and error recovery.

Based on (but now quite far from) work done by Fernando Guzman Lugo
<fernando.lugo@ti.com>.

ELF loader was written by Mark Grosen <mgrosen@ti.com>, based on
msm's Peripheral Image Loader (PIL) by Stephen Boyd <sboyd@codeaurora.org>.
