[PATCH v4 1/4] dt-bindings: remoteproc: add imx-rproc-psci

From: Jiafei Pan

Date: Wed Aug 12 2026 - 06:54:50 EST


Add compatible string "fsl,imx-rproc-psci" for i.MX Cortex-A Core's
remoteproc support.

Signed-off-by: Jiafei Pan <Jiafei.Pan@xxxxxxx>

---
Changes in v4:
- Updated description to describe the hardware instead of the binding
- Changed compatible to SoC-specific "fsl,imx93-rproc-psci" with
generic fallback "fsl,imx-rproc-psci"
- Fixed example node name from "remoteproc-ca55-1" to "remoteproc"

+description:
+ NXP i.MX SoCs integrate multiple Cortex-A cores. On certain i.MX
+ platforms, one or more of these cores can be offloaded to run RTOS
+ or bare-metal firmware as a remote processor, while the remaining
+ cores run Linux. The cores are powered on and off via PSCI (Power
+ State Coordination Interface) CPU_ON/CPU_OFF calls to the firmware.

+ description:
+ Bitmask indicating which CPU cores are assigned to this remote
+ processor instance. Each bit represents a CPU core, where bit N
+ corresponds to CPU N. For example, 0x2 (0b10) assigns CPU core 1,
+ while 0x6 (0b110) assigns CPU cores 1 and 2.
