[PATCH v3 01/15] dt-bindings: remoteproc: Add bindind to support autonomous processors

[Mathieu Poirier]

This patch adds a binding to guide the remoteproc core on how to deal with
remote processors in two cases:

1) When an application holding a reference to a remote processor character
   device interface crashes.

2) when the platform driver for a remote processor is removed.

In both cases if "autonomous-on-core-reboot" is specified in the remote
processor DT node, the remoteproc core will detach the remote processor
rather than switching it off.

+    description:
+      Used in two situations, i.e when a user space application releases the
+      handle it has on the remote processor's character driver interface and
+      when a remote processor's platform driver is being removed.  If defined,
+      this flag instructs the remoteproc core to detach the remote processor
+      rather than turning it off.
