The address in the "To:" field of this email doesn't match the one in the SoB,
Something that makes checkpatch angry.

I toyed with this solution for a little while.  I think the use case is valid
but hiding the above options will also result in a system that is difficult to
use (and debug) because they convey important information.

I suggest introducing a new kernel configuration options to make the attributes
of the rproc_devgroup return -EINVAL when it is set.  So in remoteproc_sysfs.c
do something like:

#if CONFIG_REMOTEPROC_SYSFS_RO
static bool option_is_read_only()
{
        return true;
}
#else
static bool option_is_read_only()
{
        return false;
}
#endif

[...]

static ssize_t recovery_store(struct device *dev,
			      struct device_attribute *attr,
			      const char *buf, size_t count)
{
	struct rproc *rproc = to_rproc(dev);

        if (option_is_read_only())
                return -EINVAL;

	if (sysfs_streq(buf, "enabled")) {
		/* change the flag and begin the recovery process if needed */
		rproc->recovery_disabled = false;
		rproc_trigger_recovery(rproc);
	} else if (sysfs_streq(buf, "disabled")) {
		rproc->recovery_disabled = true;
	} else if (sysfs_streq(buf, "recover")) {
		/* begin the recovery process without changing the flag */
		rproc_trigger_recovery(rproc);
	} else {
		return -EINVAL;
	}

	return count;
}

Thanks,
Mathieu
