Hey Bjorn,
    As you know,  I've been successfully using this patchset along
with a number of other patches in your trees to get wifi working on
the 2013 Nexus7. So for that, this can get a Tested-by: John Stultz
<john.stultz at linaro.org> :)

Though while I don't have much feedback on this specific driver, I am
a little curious about how the bigger integrated picture should look.

Currently, after bootup, one must "echo start >
/sys/kernel/debug/remoteproc/remoteproc0/state" to actually boot the
remote processor.

One issue is that if I try to integrate that line into some of the
bootup scripts, the system will hard hang. No panic, no OOPs, no
watchdog reboot, just a full device lockup. So it seems like there
needs to be some checks to ensure that whatever clks or otherhardware
is needed are up and running.

Second, after booting when I do "echo start..." manually, on occasion
I run into the case where while we're waiting for the firmware to
finish loading and the remote proc to come up, wpa_supplicant kicks in
and starts the wcnss driver, which tries to load the configuration
firmware before the remoteproc is all the way up. This fails, and then
usually a few seconds later there's a bad pointer traversal that
Oopses the machine (dmesg log below)

This is clearly racy, and I wonder if the starting of the remoteproc
is something that should be done by the wcnss driver which depends on
it?  Though I'm not sure how this would be integrated.

thanks
-john

"echo start..." happened here...
