This patch refactor code to first load all firmware blobs
and then update modem proc to authenticate and boot fw.
Also make a trivial change in a error log.

So while moving this down, can we use qcom_mdt_load instead for the mpss
image loading part above ?
qcom_mdt_load() can not be used to load segments for mpss, as MPSS blobs are self authenticated.
while qcom_mdt_load() is used in cases where authentication of loaded blobs is done by trustzone.
for that qcom_mdt_load() does extra steps to send pas_id to trustzone and mem_setup() etc.
Right, so my intention of asking this was if the code which does the calculation and
loads the segments in qcom_mdt_load can somehow be abstracted out, so that future
self authenticating rproc (even mpss in this case) can use them to load mdt ?
As i understand, you want to replace the piece of code which does parse mdt and load individual firmware blobs in a separate routine.
So that it can be called by any one without again doing parsing and loading for self authentication.?
Till now only MPSS does rely on self authentication, all other subsystems use qcom_mdt_load().
I think this is reason why the qcom_mdt_load() equivalent routine has not been used.
Bjorn may further add in this.

For ipq8074 [1], wcnss core has an Q6V5 version of the ip for which the
initialization/boot sequence is pretty much the same as that has been added
for msm8996 in this series. So wanted to understand if its better to
use this remoteproc itself by keeping the Q6 and mpss parts separately (or)
add a new remoteproc ?
Bjorn can better answer this query, but i believe this remoteproc can be extended to load
mpss part by adding private initialization for the IP.
ya, the mpss part can be separated out, so that this can be a Q6 + MPSS (or) Q6 + WCNSS
remoteproc. Was asking this to get the right way for adding the Q6 + WCNSS remoteproc,
as the Q6 part is same what you have added for msm8996.
Again, i believe yes but leave Bjorn to make final comment.
