[PATCH v5] remoteproc: imx_dsp_rproc: Add support for DSP-specific features

From: Iuliana Prodan <iuliana.prodan at nxp.com>

Some DSP firmware requires a FW_READY signal before proceeding, while
others do not.
Therefore, add support to handle i.MX DSP-specific features.

Implement handle_rsc callback to handle resource table parsing and to
process DSP-specific resource, to determine if waiting is needed.

Update imx_dsp_rproc_start() to handle this condition accordingly.

Changes in v5:
- Reviews from Mathieu Poirier:
  - ensure resource length matches struct size exactly.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250409213030.3489481-1-iuliana.prodan@oss.nxp.com/

Changes in v4:
- Reviews from Mathieu Poirier:
  - Adjusted len to include the size of struct fw_rsc_imx_dsp.
  - Updated len validation checks.
- Review from Frank Li:
  - In imx_dsp_rproc_handle_rsc(), removed the goto ignored statement.
- In probe(), set flags to WAIT_FW_READY to ensure the host waits
for fw_ready when no vendor-specific resource is defined.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250403100124.637889-1-iuliana.prodan@oss.nxp.com/

Changes in v3:
- Reviews from Mathieu Poirier:
  - Added version and magic number to vendor-specific resource table entry.
  - Updated defines to maintain backward compatibility with a resource table that doesn't have a vendor-specific resource.
    - By default, wait for `fw_ready`, unless specified otherwise.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250318215007.2109726-1-iuliana.prodan@oss.nxp.com

Changes in v2:
- Reviews from Mathieu Poirier:
  - Use vendor-specific resource table entry.
  - Implement resource handler specific to the i.MX DSP.
- Revise commit message to include recent updates.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250305123923.514386-1-iuliana.prodan@oss.nxp.com/
