Hi Arnaud,
> Subject: [PATCH v8 0/4] remoteproc: restructure the remoteproc VirtIO
> device
Sorry to get in at this late time, just try to catch up.
Not reviewing comments, just have a question,
Does remote core firmware requires changes to use this new feature?
Does your 4 branches listed below still work with linux-6.x?
Could the multiple vdev still share same mbox channel?
I not own i.MX remote core firmware development, so if no need
firmware change, I would like give a try and see how it works.
Thanks,
Peng.

> Objective of the work:
> - Update the remoteproc VirtIO device creation (use platform device)
> - Allow to declare remoteproc VirtIO device in DT
> - declare resources associated to a remote proc VirtIO
> - declare a list of VirtIO supported by the platform.
> - Prepare the enhancement to more VirtIO devices (e.g I2C, audio, video, ...).
> For instance be able to declare a I2C device in a virtio-i2C node.
> - Keep the legacy working!
> - Try to improve the picture about concerns reported by Christoph Hellwing
