As proposed in [1] an alternative could be to define a new rproc_ops->release_fw
operation that will be initialized to tee_rproc_release_fw in the platform driver.

In such a case, the management of the resource table should also be postponed
as the firmware has to be authenticated first.
The OP-TEE implementation authenticates the firmware during the load
(in-destination memory authentication), so the sequence is:
1) Load the firmware.
2) Get the resource table and initialize resources.
3) Start the firmware.
The tee_rproc_release_fw() is used if something goes wrong during step 2 an3.
>From my perspective, this would result in an alternative boot sequence, as we
have today for "attach". I proposed this approach in my V3 [2]. But this add
complexity in remote proc core.
Please, could you align with Mathieu to define how we should move forward to
address your concerns?
