This patch is breaking my Davinci platforms. It is not really required
that you _should_ have IOMMUs when a valid DA is mentioned. Please see
the existing description (paras 4 and 5) on the fw_rsc_carveout
kerneldoc in remoteproc.h file.

We do have platforms where we have some internal sub-modules within the
remote processor sub-system that provides some linear
address-translation (most common case with 32-bit processors supporting
64-bit addresses). Also, we have some upcoming SoCs where we have an MMU
but is not programmable by Linux.

There is one comment there, but I don't think this is actually handled
in the current remoteproc core.
"If @da is set to
 * FW_RSC_ADDR_ANY, then the host will dynamically allocate it, and then
 * overwrite @da with the dynamically allocated address."

Suman
