APSS brings Q6 out of reset and then Q6 brings
WCSS block (wifi radio's) out of reset.

Problem here is if any radio crashes, subsequently other
radio also should crash because Q6 crashed. Let's say
2G radio crashed, Q6 should pass this info to APSS. Only
Q6 processor interrupts registered with APSS. Obviously
Q6 should crash and raise fatal interrupt to APSS. Due
to this 5G radio also crashed. But no issue in 5G radio,
because of 2G radio crash 5G radio also impacted.
In multi pd model, this problem is resolved. Here WCSS
functionality (WiFi radio's) moved out from Q6 root pd
to a separate user pd. Due to this, radio's independently
pass their status info to APPS with out crashing Q6. So
other radio's won't be impacted.
Pd means protection domain. It's similar to process in Linux.
Here QDSP6 processor runs each wifi radio functionality on a
separate process. One process can't access other process
resources, so this is termed as PD i.e protection domain.

According to linux terminology, here consider Q6 as root
i.e it provide all services, WCSS (wifi radio's) as user
i.e it uses services provided by root.
Since Q6 root & WCSS user pd's able to communicate with
APSS individually, multipd remoteproc driver registers
each PD with rproc framework. Here clients (Wifi host drivers)
intrested on WCSS PD rproc, so multipd driver start's root
pd in the context of WCSS user pd rproc start. Similarly
on down path, root pd will be stopped after wcss user pd
stopped.
Here WCSS(user) PD is dependent on Q6(root) PD, so first
q6 pd should be up before wcss pd. After wcss pd goes down,
q6 pd should be turned off.
rproc->ops->start(userpd_rproc) {
/* Boot root pd rproc */
rproc_boot(upd_dev->parent);
---
/* user pd rproc start sequence */
---
---
}
With this way we ensure that root pd brought up before userpd.
rproc->ops->stop(userpd_rproc) {
---
---
/* user pd rproc stop sequence */
---
---
/* Shutdown root pd rproc */
rproc_shutdown(upd_dev->parent);
}
After userpd rproc stops, root pd rproc will be stopped.
IPQ5018, IPQ9574 supports multipd remoteproc driver.
