This is a good additional check. However, one thing to note is 
remoteproc core
framework will load the firmware if the state is set to RPROC_OFFLINE. This
will override the existing firmware in the memory, I hope that is not 
fatal for
your usecase?

Do you still want to set state = RPROC_DETACHED if resource table is not 
found in the
memory?
