[RFC 0/4] STE-modem remoteproc driver

[sjur . brandeland]

From: Sjur BrÃndeland <sjur.brandeland@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi Ohad,

This is the initial stab on the remoteproc driver for ST-Ericsson modems.
Please let me know what you think.

remoteproc_ste_modem features:
For kicking to work I need to declare what IDs I'm currently using, so I had to
iterate over the rproc->notifyids to find the IDs. 

A sysfs file is introduced for switching on/off the modem, as modem
start-up must be controlled from user space. 

As mentioned before I need the firmware to be allocated first in the shared
memory are. So in order to reserve  space for firmware at the start of the
memory region, I had to allocate dma memory before calling rproc_register(),
and then releasing it afterward.


I do not yet have an implementation of the stemod_kick module available. It
might take a while before this is upstreamed. The stemod_kick functions are
looked up dynamically so this is not a build issue.

The platform device is not yet upstreamed either. But it should be pretty simple,
it basically just provides the shared memory area to the driver.

I also included one fix in this patch-set. It doesn't seems like carveout for
non-iommu is working correctly. I added a simple patch for this.
Let me know what you think, and how to proceed for this fix.

Best regards,
Sjur BrÃndeland

Sjur BrÃndeland (4):
  remoteproc: Bugfix assign device address to carveout (noiommu)
  remoteproc: Add custom STE-modem firmware loader.
  remoteproc: Add API (header file) for kicking STE modems
  remoteproc: Add driver for STE Modem
