The sanity_check() is working on the ELF structures. And all ELF
processing needs to be moved to a separate file. So if you want
to keep the call to sanity_check() here, I need to make the
sanity_check() function a separate handler. That could make sense,
but will also bloat the struct rproc_fw_ops with one more function
pointer.
