[PATCHv2 2/2] remoteproc: add support to handle internal memories

Tue Sep 16 13:18:38 PDT 2014


A remote processor may need to load certain firmware sections into
internal memories (eg: RAM at L1 or L2 levels) for performance or
other reasons. Introduce a new resource type (RSC_INTMEM) and add
an associated handler function to handle such memories. The handler
creates a kernel mapping for the resource's 'pa' (physical address).

Note that no iommu mapping is performed for this resource, as the
resource is primarily used to represent physical internal memories.
If the internal memory region can only be accessed through an iommu,
a devmem resource entry should be used instead.
