[PATCH] remoteproc: imx_rproc: allow mappings ending at region boundary

From: Marcel Hofmann <marcel.hofmann@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

The address range checks in imx_rproc_da_to_sys() and
imx_rproc_da_to_va() use a strict comparison for the exclusive end
address of the requested range.

As a result, a valid request that ends exactly at the end of an address
translation or mapped memory region is rejected. For a region
[start, start + size), a request [addr, addr + len) is contained when:

addr >= start && addr + len <= start + size

This occurs when a loadable ELF segment fills an entire mapped memory
region. This can be produced by a linker script that extends the
resource table section to the end of its designated region:

.resource_table :
{
. = ALIGN(8);
KEEP(*(.resource_table)) /* Resource table */
. = ALIGN(8);
. = ORIGIN(m_rsc_tbl) + LENGTH(m_rsc_tbl);
} > m_rsc_tbl =0x00

This produces a ELF program header like:

LOAD 0x010000 0xa4220000 0xa4220000 0x01000 0x01000 R 0x1000

In this case, the segment size matches the mapped region size exactly,
causing the address translation to fail with:

bad phdr da 0xa4220000 mem 0x1000

Use <= for the upper-bound checks so that ranges ending exactly at the
region boundary are accepted.
