[PATCH v5 00/19] remoteproc: Add support for detaching a remote processor

Following the work done here [1], this set provides support for the
remoteproc core to release resources associated with a remote processor
without having to switch it off. That way a platform driver can be removed
or the application processor power cycled while the remote processor is
still operating.

Modifications for this revision are detailed in the changelog of each patch but
the main enhancement is the setup of a clean resource table when a remote
processor is detached from.

I have tested scenarios where the processor is detached and re-attached when
booted from an external entity and the remoteproc core.  I was also able
to confirm that removing the platform driver of a detached remote processor
works.  Re-attaching the remote processor after re-inserting the platorm driver
also works properly.

Applies cleanly on rproc-next (43d3f2c715ce). 

Thanks,
Mathieu
