Main updates from the previous version [1]:
- Remove the alternate boot sequence: rproc_alt_fw_boot()
- Introduce tee_rproc_parse_fw function
- create a cached table as done inrproc_elf_load_rsc_table[2],
- PR sent to OP-TEE to allow TA_RPROC_FW_CMD_LOAD_FW service
re-entrance[3].
- Rework TEE_REMOTEPROC description in Kconfig
- Introduce proc::tee_interface

Description of the feature:
This series proposes the implementation of a remoteproc tee driver to
communicate with a TEE trusted application responsible for authenticating and
loading the remoteproc firmware image in an Arm secure context.
1) Principle:
The remoteproc tee driver provides services to communicate with the OP-TEE
trusted application running on the Trusted Execution Context (TEE).
The trusted application in TEE manages the remote processor lifecycle:
- authenticating and loading firmware images,
- isolating and securing the remote processor memories,
- supporting multi-firmware (e.g., TF-M + Zephyr on a Cortex-M33),
- managing the start and stop of the firmware by the TEE.
2) Format of the signed image:
Refer to:
https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/blob/master/ta/remoteproc/src/remoteproc_core.c#L18-L57
3) OP-TEE trusted application API:
Refer to:
https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/blob/master/ta/remoteproc/include/ta_remoteproc.h
4) OP-TEE signature script
Refer to:
https://github.com/OP-TEE/optee_os/blob/master/scripts/sign_rproc_fw.py
Example of usage:
sign_rproc_fw.py --in <fw1.elf> --in <fw2.elf> --out <signed_fw.sign> --key ${OP-TEE_PATH}/keys/default.pem
5) Impact on User space Application
No sysfs impact.the user only needs to provide the signed firmware image
instead of the ELF image.
For more information about the implementation, a presentation is available here
(note that the format of the signed image has evolved between the presentation
and the integration in OP-TEE).
