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.
