Missing a period "." and a new line between the paragraphs.

Why is this needed? What scenario are you trying to address?

If you do this here it won't be possible to reattach to the remote processor
once it has been detached. This kind of memory parsing should go in
rproc_ops::prepare(). I suggest you look at what has been done for STM32, the
example there is quite good and simple.

The core is taking care of that, see rproc_set_rsc_table() for details.

While reviewing this patch I noticed that of_node_put() is never called after
of_parse_phandle(). Please add a fix for that, in a patch on its own, in your
next revision.

Thanks,
