HI Matt,

Thanks for your patch. I am trying it.

Please see my questions inline.

Thanks,
Wendy

it gives me kernel panic if the initial firmware name is passed from
my remoteproc driver to rproc_alloc()
and it is a const string.
It is better to have another modification to the remoteproc_core.c as
follows in the rproc_alloc().

The kernel hanged when it was trying to unregister the virtio device
after I tried"stop".
It doesn't look like related to this sysfs API. But just wonder have you seen
similar issue?
