Right, I'll provision for those cases.

Correct.

I assumed the address of the resource table found in the ELF image was the same
as the one known by the platform driver.  In hindsight I realise the platform
driver may not know that address.

I agree that OFFLINE -> RUNNING -> DETACHED -> ATTACHED is introducing some
complexity related to the management of the resource table that where not
expected.  We could concentrate on a simple detach and see where that takes us.
It would also mean to get rid of the "autonomous-on-core-shutdown" DT binding.
