As mentioned above, PTA is Pseudo Trusted Application. It is an interface
exposed by OP-TEE core to the OP-TEE application.
In this case PTA is used to implement the platform part.
If you need more details about the remoteproc framework in OP-TEE, there is a
link in the to a presentation in the cover letter.

The TEE_REMOTEPROC_DEFAULT_ID does not yet exist; it is a proposal.

Nevertheless I also had in mind the addition of a "proc ID" property in the DT.
I will proceed in this way

I think I now have all the information needed to prepare a new revision.
Thanks for the time passed on this series and your advises
