Hello,

Thanks for your patch. Patch looks good to me.
Please find some comments below.

Thanks for this testing.

Correct Linux can't. One workaround is that R5 firmware can mark
required memory regions as non-cachable in MPU setting. This way information
loss can be avoided.

Linux doesn't really have access to R5 control registers due to security.
Instead EEMI calls to platform management controller are used to control R5.
So R5 control register dump shouldn't needed.

Mathieu,
I am okay to merge this patch.
