Cool, the readelf output is helpful. Please rewrite the commit text to
include this detail. It wasn't obvious to me what 'amended' meant. You
probably mean "appended", which clarifies that it has a string added to
the end. I'm also not sure why TZ or not TZ matters for the resource
table section. It may be meaningful to you, but to others it doesn't
have any relation to this resource table appending scheme so it is not
helpful by itself.

Either way, this is not up to me as I'm not the maintainer of
remoteproc. I peeked at the documentation, but this section
name isn't clearly defined. It seems to just be how it has been for a
long time. Maybe you can also update the documentation
(Documentation/staging/remoteproc.rst) to indicate that this elf section
can have anything appended after it, but it must start with
".resource_table"? That would help everyone. And I don't know why that's
in the staging directory. Bjorn?

Finally, I'd prefer the use of strstarts() instead so it is clear what
you're trying to implement.
