Thanks for the patch. I was actually preparing to send the same changes.
This is relevant for us because previously we used a DTS overlay to add
the remoteproc functionality, but we also want this enabled in U-Boot.
By adding it to the DTB, it can later be synced with U-Boot so we can
use it there as well.

I tested it on our board, and it works fine in both the kernel and the
bootloader.
