This patch series introduces a new flag in remoteproc core to add support of remote processor having their firmware loading by another way than standard remoteproc core sequence. Firmware could be ROMed, loaded by security or bootloader before kernel boot or loaded by a special rproc platform driver interface. When "preloaded" flag is set by rproc platform driver, remoteproc core doesn't request firmware and execute rproc_start sequence as usual allocating associated rproc resources. It is rproc platform driver responsibility to implement the right firmware load operations according to HW specificities like resource table location or firmware definition if needed.
