[PATCH] remoteproc: imx_rproc: Not report loaded resource table when none

[Peng Fan (OSS)]

From: Peng Fan <peng.fan at nxp.com>

When starting a firmware without a resource table after previously running
one that had a resource table, imx_rproc_elf_find_loaded_rsc_table() may
incorrectly return a valid device memory pointer (priv->rsc_table).

In this case rproc->cached_table is NULL because the current firmware does
not contain a resource table, but the remoteproc core still interprets the
non-NULL return value as a loaded resource table and attempts to memcpy()
from rproc->cached_table, leading to a NULL pointer dereference and kernel
panic.

Fix this by returning NULL from imx_rproc_elf_find_loaded_rsc_table() when
there is no cached resource table for the current firmware. This ensures
that a loaded resource table is only reported when a valid cached_table
exists, which matches the remoteproc core expectations.

This issue can be reproduced by:
  1) start a firmware with a resource table
  2) stop the remote processor
  3) start a firmware without a resource table

With this change, starting a firmware without a resource table no longer
causes kernel dump.
