This patch adds a sysfs interface to rproc allowing the firmware name
and processor state to be changed dynamically.

State was previously available in debugfs, and is replicated here. The
firmware file allows retrieval of the running firmware name, and a new
one to be specified at run time, so long as the remote processor has
been stopped.

+Description: Remote processor state
+
+ Reports the state of the remote processor, which will be one
of:
+
+ "offline"
+ "suspended"
+ "running"
+ "crashed"
+ "invalid"
+
+ "offline" means the remote processor is powered off.
+
+ "suspended" means that the remote processor is suspended and
+ must be woken to receive messages.
+
+ "running" is the normal state of an available remote processor
+
+ "crashed" indicates that a problem/crash has been detected on
+ the remote processor.
+
+ "invalid" is returned if the remote processor is in an
+ unknown state.
+
+ Writing this file controls the state of the remote processor.
+ The following states can be written:
+
+ "start"
+ "stop"
+
+ Writing "start" will attempt to start the processor running the
+ firmware indicated by, or written to,
+ /sys/class/remoteproc/.../firmware. The remote processor should
+ transition to "running" state.
+
+ Writing "stop" will attempt to halt the remote processor and
+ return it to the "offline" state.

struct class rproc_class should be static to remoteproc_sysfs.c file.
It will be better to create a new interface like rproc_register_sysfs
to associate rproc_class to rproc device.

It would be nice if that were possible, but since the class has to
associated with the devices created within remoteproc_core, as it stands
we must have visibility of this symbol there, see above the change to
drivers/remoteproc/remoteproc_core.c line 1455.
The alternative would be a utility function in remoteproc_sysfs.c to
associate the class with an rproc device, it depends what the preference
would be.

Yes it will be my preference. remoteproc_sysfs.c file to provide a new service like:
void rproc_register_sysfs(struct rproc *rproc) {
rproc->dev.class = &rproc_class;
}

and to call this function from rproc_alloc

/Loic

OK, no problem - that is probably neater :-)

Thanks,
Matt
