Subject: [PATCH 0/2] remoteproc: add support for preloaded firmware

This patch series introduces a new flag in remoteproc core to add
support of remote processor having their firmware loading by another
way than standard remoteproc core sequence.

Firmware could be ROMed, loaded by security or bootloader before kernel
boot or loaded by a special rproc platform driver interface.

When "preloaded" flag is set by rproc platform driver, remoteproc core
doesn't request firmware and execute rproc_start sequence as usual allocating
associated rproc resources.
It is rproc platform driver responsibility to implement the right firmware
load operations according to HW specificities like resource table location
or firmware definition if needed.

Regards,
Loic
