I will add references in commit message, information is missing.
This come from stm32 code that has been upstreamed in U-boot.
These definitions match with the u-boot definitions available here:
https://gitlab.denx.de/u-boot/u-boot/blob/master/arch/arm/mach-stm32mp/include/mach/stm32.h
The U-boot source code related to the preloaded is available here:

I did not find in patch history the reason of this call, but yes seems that this ops should not be called
i will crosscheck this point.

The hypothesis is that the resource table can be decorrelated from the firmware, that why this ops has to be called for preloaded and none-preloded FWs. In this case does it usefull to move it in probe function?

The bootloader starts the firmware with "hold boot" disabled.
In case of crash the firmware automatically reboots, during the Linux kernel boot.
Then when Linux "attaches" to the remote firmware, and reconfigures the hold boot to freeze the remote processor on crash,

This allows to support 2 use cases:
- crash recovery ( not able to ensure the integrity of the code in RAM)
- allows application to change the preloaded firmware.
As these use cases depend on the platform hw, how do you suggest to manage it?

I will reorder the sequence.

Yes the DT property is optional, as the resource table is optional. So if not present, we consider that it is a preloaded firmware without resource table.

This is done as values of the M4 are not at expected state on reset. For instance 
the PDDS value is not set to 1. As consequence the platform can not
go in standby mode.

Please could you explain what exactly does not fit from your point of view?

Yes we do not support the restart without user space action.
If code is in ROM you can ensure the integrity of the code, but our code is in
RAM. And as RAM can be isolated we potentially don't have access to the code space.
Reseting rproc->skip_fw_load to 0 allows this choice.
So from our point of view delegate the behavior to the user space makes sense as 
depending on hardware but also on project itself.
