Just realized that I missed responding on this thread last week.

Yes, and if the vring da value is FW_RSC_ADDR_ANY, then I don't run into
this particular error. It's just that the semantics of vring da is open
previously, and my above comment being 0 was being used as a reset value
as well.

Yeah, we still expect to allocate these dynamically, so there won't be
any registration needed.

> It is the same discussion as with Patch 1. 

Right, except that we have a da from RSC_CARVEOUT and a da from vring,
and the previous code had some slight differences between the two. The
vring da semantics were never set before (value was always being
overwritten, also it didn't have a pa field), whereas the remoteproc.h
documentation did mention about FW_RSC_ADDR_ANY (without any backing
implementation previously) for the RSC_CARVEOUT da, with the entry also
having a field for pa.

If we consider we can't change fixed coprocessor address requests, rproc
core should stop its execution.

Yeah, it only covers one of the usecases/platforms (Keystone 2 DSP
platforms). And this only worked on these platforms so far because we
only were using internal memories - so there were no RSC_CARVEOUT
entries with valid da. Our Davinci DSP is a single instance and we do
have a RSC_CARVEOUT there, which fails due to the same Patch 1 logic
here as well.

Yes, agreed. This is about the semantics of vring da from before (no
enforcement to strict enforcement of FW_RSC_ADDR_ANY). The overwriting
on da field on vrings with the dma address is actually a mistake, which
we are trying to proliferate more now. It all comes down to the fact of
treating da as dma address when it is not going to be the case on all
remoteprocs.
