I started to test the series, I found 2 problems testing in STM32P1 board.

1) the resource_table pointer is unmapped if the firmware has been booted by the
Linux, generating a crash in rproc_free_vring.
I attached a fix at the end of the mail.

2) After the detach, the rproc state is "detached"
but it is no longer possible to re-attach to it correctly.
Neither if the firmware is standalone, nor if it has been booted
by the Linux.

I did not investigate, but the issue is probably linked to the resource
table address which is set to NULL.

So we either have to fix the problem in order to attach or forbid the transition.

Subject: [PATCH] remoteproc: core: fix detach for unmapped table_ptr

If the firmware has been loaded and started by the kernel, the
resource table has probably been mapped by the carveout allocation
(see rproc_elf_find_loaded_rsc_table).
In this case the memory can have been unmapped before the vrings are free.
The result is a crash that occurs in rproc_free_vring while try to use the
unmapped pointer.
