Sorry, I forgot to mention below code:
loaded_table is a valid pointer for i.MX, see
https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.14-rc6/source/drivers/remoteproc/imx_rproc.c#L666,
So loaded_table is valid, it is memcpy trigger kernel panic because table_sz is
not zero while cached_table is NULL.
loaded_table = rproc_find_loaded_rsc_table(rproc, fw);
if (loaded_table) {
memcpy(loaded_table, rproc->cached_table, rproc->table_sz);
rproc->table_ptr = loaded_table;
}
