This is the v4 of the patch series [1]. The v3 had some comments
on the DT patch that have been addressed here. The 6th patch in this
series was missed in the previous versions, so, it has been added now.

I have posted two more patch series that depend on this series, one to
the soc tree and another to the networking tree. I had sent all the 3
series, including this one as RFC [2] to get comments and to explain the
dependencies.

The Programmable Real-Time Unit and Industrial Communication Subsystem
(PRU-ICSS or simply PRUSS) on various TI SoCs consists of dual 32-bit
RISC cores (Programmable Real-Time Units, or PRUs) for program execution.

There are 3 foundation components for PRUSS subsystem: the PRUSS platform
driver, the PRUSS INTC driver and the PRUSS remoteproc driver. All were
already merged and can be found under:
1) drivers/soc/ti/pruss.c
   Documentation/devicetree/bindings/soc/ti/ti,pruss.yaml
2) drivers/irqchip/irq-pruss-intc.c
   Documentation/devicetree/bindings/interrupt-controller/ti,pruss-intc.yaml
3) drivers/remoteproc/pru_rproc.c
   Documentation/devicetree/bindings/remoteproc/ti,pru-rproc.yaml

The programmable nature of the PRUs provide flexibility to implement custom
peripheral interfaces, fast real-time responses, or specialized data handling.
Example of a PRU consumer drivers will be:
  - Software UART over PRUSS
  - PRU-ICSS Ethernet EMAC

In order to make usage of common PRU resources and allow the consumer drivers to
configure the PRU hardware for specific usage the PRU API is introduced.
